sorry if I missed something in your post, how about displaying QT objects ? the accepted way seems to use Python prettyfiers, so I tried to add them in a gdbinit file, however when trying to load them your snap spits out:

❌ /home/phablet/.config/gdb/gdbinit:16: Error in sourced command file:
Scripting in the "Python" language is not supported in this copy of GDB.

is there something I am missing ? or is displaying QT variables not possible with this tool ? I the answer is yes, could Python scripting be added to the snap ?

Note that debugging works - I can setup a breakpoint and gdb breaks at the desired line. The problem is that I can only display native c++ variable values, not QT objects.
