Output for dynamicially sized matrices is None

[js1972]

I've installed with bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tehrengruber/LLDB-Eigen-Data-Formatter/master/tools/install.sh)".

Is there anything else I would need to do to get it to work in CLion IDE on a Mac?
Does lldb look in ~/.lldbinit by default?

This is what I get if ->

(lldb) print this->x_
(Eigen::VectorXd) $4 = None

[tehrengruber]

No that should work. What type of matrix did you print?

[js1972]

Any of the eigen stuff.... for example:

  #include "Eigen/Dense"
  using Eigen::MatrixXd;

  P_ = MatrixXd(5, 5);
  P_ << 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        0, 1, 0, 0, 0,
        0, 0, 1, 0, 0,
        0, 0, 0, 1, 0,
        0, 0, 0, 0, 1;

From the lldb prompt in CLion I enter print P_ and it just responds with "None".

Here is an actual output:

Appreciate your help. Thx.

I should also add that I installed as per the readme and can see the .lldinit file, etc.

Indeed the installation of the plugin worked. Therefore you only see None instead of the default output from lldb, because some exception occurs in the plugin. Usually the plugin should fallback to the lldbs default printer in that case, which for whatever reason does not work. I have to check this on an OS X machine the upcoming days, because on my linux machine everything works as expected.

Ok so the problem here is that the matrices you are trying to debug are of dynamic size, which this plugin does not support right now. There is however a pull request implementing this: #2 which works, but has some problems.
Since I have a new plugin in development that supports not only viewing, but also editing I'm not going to fix this, but feel free to just switch to the branch of the pull request.

[js1972]

Thankyou for that info. I saw the pull request but as I'm a newbie to eigen I didn't even know I was using dynamic matrices all the time. ;-) Looking forward to the update and will test the pull request. Really appreciate your help.

[tehrengruber]

Nevermind :-) I will still keep this ticket open because the returning None is not what should happen.

For the matrix/vector you use in the screenshot you should probably use a statically sized type because its way faster for small matrices. This is because many optimizations are only possible, when the size is known at compile time.

[js1972]

Excellent. By keeping this open I'll be alerted to updates ;-)
Off-topic but do you notice CLion gives heaps of compiler syntax warnings on Eigen code as well?

[js1972]

Update... Tried pull request 2 it it fails everywhere... Will stick to cout for now. ;-)

I would love to use this plugin but I'm having the same issue (I need to use dynamic sizes). Thanks for this useful tool.

This bug might be partially fixed. Please have a look at https://github.com/fantaosha/LLDB-Eigen-Data-Formatter

I've added support for dynamically sized matrices today (see 7a07dc1). Feel free to give it a try.
