           Summary: [WISH] Augment Watch Window type information for QObject
                    derivatives with the result of the className() method
                    (gives true type)
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.0.2
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: jsolomon comcast net


Version:           3.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Most debuggers I've worked with display the true type of a C++ object pointer. It's possible that some of the code I'm looking at is compiled without RTTI but it doesn't appear the KDevelop debugger does that. Special casing instances of QObject descendant classes to use the "className()" method (as has been done for QStrings) would seem to be a reasonable work-around and a great help.
