让gdb能打印C++中的容器类型

由于原生的gdb对vector，map等容器的支持不太好，所以找到了一个工具，将这个工具集成到gdb中，就可以实现map，vector等容器的内容的打印操作。

1。用vim将下方的代码拷贝到一个新的文件中，名为stl_views_1.0.3.gdb,这个是一个简单的工具的源码。

#                                                                                                        
#   STL GDB evaluators/views/utilities - 1.03
#
#   The new GDB commands:                                                         
#         are entirely non instrumental                                             
#         do not depend on any "inline"(s) - e.g. size(), [], etc
#       are extremely tolerant to debugger settings
#                                                                                 
#   This file should be "included" in .gdbinit as following:
#   source stl-views.gdb or just paste it into your .gdbinit file
#
#   The following STL containers are currently supported:
#
#       std::vector<T> -- via pvector command
#       std::list<T> -- via plist or plist_member command
#       std::map<T,T> -- via pmap or pmap_member command
#       std::multimap<T,T> -- via pmap or pmap_member command
#       std::set<T> -- via pset command
#       std::multiset<T> -- via pset command
#       std::deque<T> -- via pdequeue command
#       std::stack<T> -- via pstack command
#       std::queue<T> -- via pqueue command
#       std::priority_queue<T> -- via ppqueue command
#       std::bitset<n> -- via pbitset command
#       std::string -- via pstring command
#       std::widestring -- via pwstring command
#
#   The end of this file contains (optional) C++ beautifiers
#   Make sure your debugger supports $argc

document pvector
    Prints std::vector<T> information.
    Syntax: pvector <vector> <idx1> <idx2>
    Note: idx, idx1 and idx2 must be in acceptable range [0..<vector>.size()-1].
    Examples:
    pvector v - Prints vector content, size, capacity and T typedef
    pvector v 0 - Prints element[idx] from vector
    pvector v 1 2 - Prints elements in range [idx1..idx2] from vector

拷贝到vim的时候可能会因为前面的注释的#的原因，导致后边自动地缩进，造成代码很乱。这个可以通过vim的format来解决。拷贝完成后，按《Esc》退出insert模式，回到普通模式。然后按gg,可以回到第一行第一个字符。然后放大招"gg=G",这四个键可以把所有代码重新排一下，变得好看，整齐。按完之后，按Ctrl+f键翻页看看吧。此时代码应该已经和网页上显示的一毛一样了。

2.比如现在的stl_views_1.0.3.gdb文件的路径是/tmp下，即/tmp/stl_views_1.0.3.gdb。此时先写一个c++测试文件。

　　$ vim test2.cc

#include<map>
#include<string>
#include<vector>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
    vector<int> myVector;
    myVector.push_back(1);
    myVector.push_back(2);
    return 0;
}

　　$ g++  -o  test2  test2.cc  -g

此时/tmp下应该有一个可运行的test2和一个stl_view_1.0.3.gdb文件。然后让我们启动gdb吧，为了显示直观一些，可以用cgdb来可视化代码。

　　$ cgdb  test2

 然后输入source /tmp/stl_view_1.0.3.gdb来引入这个工具。

ok，现在开始执行test2可运行文件。先在main（）设置断点，然后next，next，next，然后print myVector就可以看到工具的效果了。

 

此时可以看到，工具的效果就出来了

打印map的话，pmap ；打印vector的，pvector；

可以查看帮助，source进来以后，用help  pvector来看使用帮助。
