[lldb-dev] Custom formatter request

[Enrico Granata]

Hi.
It looks like your task should be relatively easy since you have the full definition of the UniString and the SharedBuffer.
I am assuming you will want to show the string content as your summary (as it happens for std::string and NSString).
If so, how are you going to use the string buffer? Is it going to contain a pointer to the real data?
I am probably slightly confused by your comment next to it.
Could you explain the logic for storing the string data or provide an example of code that handles e.g. the string allocation, or access to it?
Given that understanding, it should be relatively straightforward to accomplish your task.
