This is kind of orthogonal to your problem, but the reason why you are not
seeing the kind of simplified printing Greg is suggesting, is because your
std::string doesn’t look like any of the kinds we recognize
Specifically, LLDB data formatters work by matching against type names, and
once they recognize a typename, then they try to inspect the variable in order
to grab a summary
In your example, your std::string exposes a layout that we are not handling -
hence we bail out of the formatter and we fall back to the raw view
If you want pretty printing to work, you’ll need to write a data formatter
There are a few avenues. The obvious easy one is to extend the existing
std::string formatter to recognize your type’s internal layout.
If one were signing up for more infrastructure work, they could decide to try
and detect shared library loads and load formatters that match with whatever
libraries are being loaded.
