Description Daniel Bates 2017-07-18 12:15:23 PDT
We should add a type summary for StringView objects to print the length and contents of the StringView similar to what we do for other string types. Currently you can get the effect of pretty printing a StringView by converting it to String using StringView.toString() and then printing the string in lldb. It would be more convenient to support pretty printing a StringView directly.

Cool. How does one install these? Do they work in Xcode too?

> Cool. How does one install these?

Installation instructions are at the top of the file: <https://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/lldb/lldb_webkit.py?rev=216701#L24>.

If you don't want to always have these type summaries enabled and just want to try them out in a single lldb/Xcode debug session just execute:

command script import {Path to WebKit Root}/Tools/lldb/lldb_webkit.py

in your lldb/Xcode lldb session.

> Do they work in Xcode too?

Yes, it works in an Xcode lldb session.
