GammaRay is a tool to poke around in a Qt-application and also to manipulate the application to some extent. GammaRay uses various DLL injection techniques to hook into an application at runtime and provide access to a lot of interesting information.
GammaRay can:
-
Browse the QObject tree with live updates.
-
View, and to some extent, edit QObject static and dynamic properties.
-
View and call slots of a QObject (similar to qdbusviewer).
-
View other QObject elements such as signals, enums and class infos introspectively.
-
List all QObject inbound and outbound signal/slot connections.
-
Provide live widget preview. Useful for finding layout issues).
-
View the content of any QAbstractItemModel (QAIM). Very useful when debugging a proxy model chain for example.
-
Browse the QAbstractProxyModel (QAPM) hierarchy.
-
Browse the QGraphicsView (QGV) item tree of any QGV scene.
-
Show a live preview of QGV items, including showing their coordinate system, transformation origin, rotate/zoom/pan, etc.
-
Act as a complete java script debugger, attachable to any QScriptEngine (including the usually not accessible one used by QML internally).
-
Perform HTML/CSS/DOM/JS introspection/editing/profiling on any QWebPage, thanks to QWebInspector.
-
Browse the QResource tree and its content.
-
Browse QStateMachines, along with their states and transitions.
-
Show all registered meta types.
-
Show all installed fonts.
-
Show all available codecs.
-
Browse all QTextDocuments, along with the ability to edit them and view their internal structures.
-
Show all QTimers and their statistics (number of wakeups, wakeup time, ...)
