that is working, thanks.

I tried to implement this payload method in python, the c++ code is
the following:
template <class Key, class T>
struct QMapPayloadNode
{
    Key key;
    T value;
    QMapData::Node *backward;
};
static inline int payload() {
    return sizeof(PayloadNode) - sizeof(QMapData::Node *);
}

the obvious solution would be gdb.lookup_type('QMapPayloadNode<%s,
%s>' % (self.ktype, self.vtype)).sizeof
but that doesn't work, i get this error:
RuntimeError: No type named QMapPayloadNode<int, QString *>
This is because that QMapPayloadNode is not instanciated, it's only
used for this sizeof.

So any idea how i can compute the payload?
