Yes there is. But you're going to run into two problems. The first
is because of implicit sharing (copy on write). The other is because the 
data is in unicode (qt4), not the standard ascii char* people are used 
to.

There is a tip floating about on the web on how to examine a QStrings 
contents in gdb. I can't find it right now, but I remember seeing it. 
It's complicated enough that I usually make do with qDebug().
