Ok, here comes my hacky workaround. Tested on amd64 only.

        def payload (self):

            #we can't use QMapPayloadNode as it's never instanciated and so=
 gcc
            #doesn't include it in debug information.
            #as a workaround take the sum of sizeof(members)
            ret =3D self.ktype.sizeof
            ret +=3D self.vtype.sizeof
            ret +=3D gdb.lookup_type('void').pointer().sizeof

            #but because of data alignment the value can be higher
            #so guess it's aliged by sizeof(void*)
            #TODO: find a real solution for this problem
            ret +=3D ret % gdb.lookup_type('void').pointer().sizeof

            ret -=3D gdb.lookup_type('void').pointer().sizeof
            return ret

Any better idea?
