    Description

      Displaying the value of std::vector (and presumable other std library container) objects in the local variable pane doesn't work correctly if the program is compiled with the '-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG' compiler flag (which results in obect size changes).

      Sample program to reproduce ("test.cpp"):

      #include <vector>
      
      int main() {
          std::vector<int> v;
          v.push_back(1);
          return 0; // breakpoint here, check value of 'v'
      };
      

       
      Makefile:

      all:
              g++ -g -O0 -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG -o test test.cpp
      

      Sample steps to reproduce (possible with other project type than CompilationDatabase as well):

      • make sure that GDB system pretty printers are disabled, so that Qt Creator's own printers are used
      • run 'bear make' to compile the program and generate the compilation database
      • import the project into Qt Creator using the generated 'compile_commands.json' file
      • set breakpoint at the return statement
      • start debugging
      • observe the displayed value for the vector 'v' in the debugger's locals view

      Result: The value "<0 items>" is displayed for 'v' and there's no possibility to expand the vector to see the element that was inserted.

      Expected result: The value "<1 item>" should be displayed for 'v' and it should be possible to expand it to see that the vector contains an element with value '1'.
