On the subject of GDB, we have been hacking some GDB 7.0 Python for printing WebCore types. See this file: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/tools/gdb/webkit.py?view=markup This makes it so GDB can natively print types like WebCore::AtomicString or WebCore::QualifiedName, including when they are arguments to the function you've just broken into. I find myself now casting other UTF-16 strings (like, those used by Harfbuzz) into UChar* when using GDB so it can print those types too. I guess this file should probably live in the WebCore tree somewhere. I hadn't gotten around to it because I wasn't sure where it belonged. If anyone has a good idea where it should go I'll commit it. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
