The type info is not directly accessible to the debugger. The workaround used so far generally works for initialized data, but can force loading all debug information otherwise. The behavior is exceptionally bad for LLDB 3.7 with GCC 5.x/C++14 due DW_TAG_base_type 'auto' encoded with DW_ATE = 0x0, bit_size = 0 produced by GCC and not understood by LLDB.

While the primary intention of this pretty printing implementation is
to provide what Qt Creator needs, it can be used in a plain commandline
GDB session, too.
With
python sys.path.insert(1, '<path/to/qtcreator>/share/qtcreator/debugger/')
python from gdbbridge import *
in .gdbinit there is a new "GDB command", called "pp".
With code like
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QString ss = "Hello";
QApplication app(argc, argv);
app.setObjectName(ss);
// break here
}
the "pp" command can be used as follows:
(gdb) pp app
app =
[
<QGuiApplication> = {"Hello"}
staticMetaObject = <QMetaObject> = {""}
[parent] = <QObject *> = {"0x0"}
[children] = <QObjectList> = {"<3 items>"}
[properties] = "<>0 items>"
[methods] = "<6 items>"
[signals] = "<1 items>"
],<QApplication> = {"Hello"}
(gdb) pp app [properties],[children]
app =
[
<QGuiApplication> = {"Hello"}
staticMetaObject = <QMetaObject> = {""}
[parent] = <QObject *> = {"0x0"}
[children] = [
<QObject> = {""}
<QObject> = {""}
<QObject> = {"fusion"}
],<QObjectList> = {"<3 items>"}
[properties] = [
windowIcon = <QVariant (QIcon)> = {""}
cursorFlashTime = <QVariant (int)> = {"1000"}
doubleClickInterval = <QVariant (int)> = {"400"}
keyboardInputInterval = <QVariant (int)> = {"400"}
wheelScrollLines = <QVariant (int)> = {"3"}
globalStrut = <QVariant (QSize)> = {"(0, 0)"}
startDragTime = <QVariant (int)> = {"500"}
startDragDistance = <QVariant (int)> = {"10"}
styleSheet = <QVariant (QString)> = {""}
autoSipEnabled = <QVariant (bool)> = {"true"}
],"<10 items>"
[methods] = "<6 items>"
[signals] = "<1 items>"
],<QApplication> = {"Hello"}
(gdb) pp ss
ss =
<QString> = {"Hello"}
