Because QtCreator has its own api...
http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugging-helpers.html

It seems that there cannot be common/shared code between existing gdb helpers and qtcreator's one [1].


So can i create a folder : solenv/gdb/qtcreator that will contain specific qtcreator gdb helpers ?
I started with strings, and will continue with other basic LO types.


Currently, I need to manually enter the path to those helpers in a QtCreator dialog.
(qtcreator just execute in gdb "source path/to/helper.py")
Is there a way to predefine that command in gdb to avoid any manual configuration ?
If possible, I plan to execute it at the end of "make qtcreator-ide-integration" command.


Cheers,
Michel


[1] An example with OUString for QtCreator :
---------------------------------------------------------------

def __get_rtl_ustring(d, pdata):
     """
     """
     charSize = 2
     array = pdata["buffer"]
     length = pdata["length"]
     cutoff = min(length*charSize, d.stringCutOff)
     mem = d.readMemory(array, cutoff)
     encodingType = Hex4EncodedLittleEndian
     return mem, encodingType

def qdump__rtl__OUString(d, value):
     """
     class SAL_WARN_UNUSED SAL_DLLPUBLIC_RTTI OUString
     {
     public:
         /// @cond INTERNAL
         rtl_uString * pData;
         /// @endcond
     """

     pdata = value["pData"]

     # show rtl_uString
     mem, encodingType = __get_rtl_ustring(d, pdata)
     d.putValue(mem, encodingType)
     d.putAddress(value.address)
