Question

I'm debugging a huge Qt app with hundreds of classes, messy code, etc. While tracking down a bug, I want to single-step in gdb (kdbg, ddd, whatever) while watching what gets drawn into a QImage using a QPainter that's carried about from method to method. Somewhere, it's doing being given bad information. Normally all I can get is the final QImage written to a .png file.

Is there some way to see what the image is in a QImage when stopped in a debugger?

BTW, this is using Qt4.3, which is kinda old but we're stuck with for now. If a newer Qt offers some advantage, I have ways to hack with it (as well as others seeing this question may have the latest).

Was it helpful?

Solution

That's one of the examples in the Peek and Poke, Vol. 3 article on Qt Labs blog.
