Re: [cdt-dev] Qt Support?

[Michael Jackson <mike.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is really good news. I'll suppose that porting those formatters  
to the DSF/GDB integration is probably out of the question (unless  
someone in the community wants to do it). I would give it a try if I  
could get some free time and I knew where to start. Plus with what  
Doug is saying about Mac TCF and ptrace maybe something might come  
together.
