CodeLite IDE

Hi all,

I'm impressed with CodeLite so far and congratulate the team for the great effort! The editor is simply perfect.

I wish two important things could be improved in the debugger, though:
1. better display of STL containers and nested structures (e.g. vector in a structure, vector of vectors, ...)
2. the debugger does not display variable states when the breakpoint is hit, only after the first manual step?

Other minor annoyances include:
a. possibility to edit existing watch expressions
b. remember watch expression between separate debugger runs

I already fixed this, see this commit :

Fixed: https://github.com/eranif/codelite/issues/555 - GDB pretty printing doesn't recurse

You failed to provide your OS, codelite version etc... :/ (see my signature for HOW TO POST)
Did you try a more recent weekly build?

I am not sure I am following, can you provide an example?

As usual, feature requests posted on the forum will definitely get lost - as I don't keep track on features posted on the forum.
Please post them on GitHub

Uf, sorry for missing details:

Ubuntu 14.04LTS, pre-compiled CodeLite 6.1, gcc 4.8.2 and gdb 7.7.

Upon hitting the breakpoint the Locals tab remains empty(!) and only after a Next/Step-in command the list is populated with relevant values... Continue again clears the Locals list even in a small loop... The same problem with the Watches list.

LLDB however works fine.
