Description

I'm no expert on the matter.
But I see that for example QVariant defined in qt5.natvis is not working for Linux gdb type program.
https://github.com/inviwo/inviwo/blob/master/tools/natvis/qt5.natvis

Could this be because natvis is not fully supported on gdb type programs?
And if so, could you please add support for that QVariant functionality?

Research direction

Start with the referenced tools/natvis/qt5.natvis file, especially its QVariant definition, and investigate how MIEngine handles natvis when debugging with Linux gdb through VSCode. Confirm whether the reported QVariant visualization is unsupported or malfunctioning, and define done as a working QVariant display for that configuration.
