Debugging Helpers typedef Bug

Debugging helpers are great. They show you the contents of common Qt types such as maps, lists and strings and are invaluble when debugging code. However, a bug exists that means if you typedef a QMap, QList, etc. then the debugging helper won't work. Take the following example:

#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>

#include <QMap>

#include <QString>

#include <QListv

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

QMap<QString, QString> map1;

map1["Hello"] = "World!";

typedef QMap<QString, QString> Map;

Map map2;

map2["Hello"] = "World!";

QList<int> list1;

list1.append(1234);

typedef <int> List;

List list2;

list2.append(1234);

return a.exec();

}

If you stick a breakpoint on the last line the debugger happily displays the contents of map1 and list1, but not map2 and list2 as they have been declared using the typedef. Now, I use the typedef keyword a lot, so this is a PITA, but it's been reported so I'm sure a fix is in the works.
