Cannot view content of QVariant

I've setup a qt5.natvis file to see some qt debug info.

For QString and QVector it works.

However for QVariant, it doesn't show anything.
I'm in linux using gdb.

Which natvis file do you use?

I often use the official one https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-labs/vstools.git/plain/src/qtvstools/qt5.natvis.xml, but this is the same file as you linked (without the namespace vars).

I just inject the natvis files to launch.json file (replace the namespace macro correclty) and do no special handling inside my extension. VSCode just use the C++ extension from microsoft to read/use the natvis file, so it is maybe a good idea to file an issue on their bug tracker https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues . I've read in the past that the natvis file are using a complete different impl. on Linux/Mac as on windows. On windows it works most of the time normally. On my Mac it works partly.

Why do you use only such a basic natvis file in this extension instead of including a proper one from another project? (of course with proper FOSS license)

Yeah, I think there would not be a problem to include one file under different license.
