Description Mihai 2009-11-06 13:59:54 UTC

Version:           3.9.96 (using KDevPlatform 0.9.96) (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.29-gentoo-r5


Some variables work some don't. The behaviour changes with each debugging session. For example sometimes i see the local vars but not this-> vars. Hovering the variable shows the code browser but not the gdb watch window. 

Steps:

- attach to a c++ exe process
- place a breakpoint in member function
- place your mouse over local variables or class member variables

Comment 1 Mihai 2009-11-06 14:01:45 UTC

Im using gdb 7.0

Comment 2 Niko Sams 2009-11-28 12:59:09 UTC

Please activate debug output for gdb plugin (kdebugdialog) and watch for "-var-create --thread 1 --frame 0 var11 @ variablename" commands. You can probably reproduce the behaviour with that.

If so, post some example code and steps to reproduce.

thanks
