Qt VS Code Extensions Manual Tests Debugger

This is about catching the Qt types not properly understood by the debugger.

Found problems are to be reported in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/VSCODEEXT-154?filter=27222

Auto test is meant to replace the manual testing

Pre-requisit	Result	Annotation
Have VS code installed (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/setup-overview)
Have a Qt installation (https://account.qt.io/s/downloads)
Have the Qt C++ Extension Pack installed, a Qt installation registered

The natvis files and the related test files are located in the qt-labs/vs-debugtools repo. This is the debugging_helpers vscodeext submodule.

To use the latest vs-debugtools, use a local vscodeext. To set up everything, run:

npm ci
git submodule update --init --remote --recursive
npm run prepareNatvisFiles
npm run all_dev

To access the test files, open debugging_helper and make sure .vscode/setting.json has:

"cmake.useCMakePresets": "never"

since CMakePresets are not supported and block Qt kit visibility (ongoing).

Select a Qt kit.

In test-app/main.cpp, place a break point at the return call.

Check that the debugger output is as expected.

This is a work in progress, need to use the latest natvis files from https://github.com/narnaud/natvis4qt (to be moved to qt-labs/vs-debugtools QTVSADDINBUG-1310)

Qt6 Tested type	Result	Annotation
QPropertyData	ok
QUuid		VSCODEEXT-161
QBasicAtomicInteger	Problem or adapt expectation	Type is QAtomicOps<int> instead of QBasicAtomicInteger<int> In Raw View value type is <int> instead of std::atomic<int>
QBasicAtomicPointer	Adapt expectation?	Raw View type is QBasicAtomicPointer<void>::AtomicType instead of QBasicAtomicPointer<void>
QPoint	Adapt expectation	No Type shown in Raw View
QPointF	adapt expectation	No Type shown in Raw View
QRect	Problem	Width and height not properly displayed
QRect	Problem?	Raw View x and y replaced by xp and yp, width and height replaced by w and h. Type is qreal instead of double No Type shown in Raw View
QSize		Raw View width and height replaced by wd and ht No Type shown in Raw View
QSizeF		Raw View width and height replaced by wd and ht. Not rounded as expected. No Type shown in Raw View
QLine		Raw View start point and end point replaced by pt1 and pt2. Not rounded as expected. No Type shown in Raw View
QLineF		Raw View start point and end point replaced by pt1 and pt2. Not rounded as expected. No Type shown in Raw View
QChar QChar_default_constructed	Adapt expectations	Raw View is not as expected
QChar QChar_Latin1	Adapt expectations. Problem?	Raw View is not as expected. No latin 1 nor unicode, only ucs. The type and value of ucs are as expected. Need to check those of latin 1 and unicode though.
QChar QChar_non_Latin1	Adapt expectations.	See QChar_Latin1, values are not as expected
QString	Adapt expectations.	Look into binary view
QStringView	Adapt expectations.	Type of the size not as expected. Look into binary view
QByteArray	Adapt expectations.	Type of the size not as expected. Look into binary view

		to do: add Qt types to debuggee.cpp
