Pretty Printer Installation

Requirements:

icinga2 debug symbols
boost, gcc, etc debug symbols

Install the boost, python and icinga2 pretty printers. Absolute paths are required, so please make sure to update the installation paths accordingly (pwd).

Boost Pretty Printers:

$ mkdir ~/.gdb_printers && cd ~/.gdb_printers
$ git clone https://github.com/ruediger/Boost-Pretty-Printer.git && cd Boost-Pretty-Printer
$ pwd
/home/michi/.gdb_printers/Boost-Pretty-Printer

Python Pretty Printers:

$ cd ~/.gdb_printers
$ svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk/libstdc++-v3/python

Icinga 2 Pretty Printers:

$ mkdir -p ~/.gdb_printers/icinga2 && ~/.gdb_printers/icinga2
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Icinga/icinga2/master/tools/debug/gdb/icingadbg.py

Now you'll need to modify/setup your ~/.gdbinit configuration file. You can download the one from Icinga 2 and modify all paths.

Note

The path to the pthread library varies on distributions. Use find /usr/lib* -type f -name '*libpthread.so*' to get the proper path.

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Icinga/icinga2/master/tools/debug/gdb/gdbinit -O ~/.gdbinit
$ vim ~/.gdbinit
