This mechanism works for both mi and the cli My ~/.gdbinit now looks like this Python import sys sys.path.insert(0, '/opt/ I want the printers to already be available on my system, for the correct version of libc++ i have installed This is just the plumbing. Since a pretty printer determines what you see as the value of a variable when you are debugging if you want to change what you see then you can create your own pretty printer
Despite the long list of languages gdb support natively your may be using (or like me actually involved in creating) a language that is not supported. You create a basic printer in minutes Use time to your advantage. An example output is provided (see pretty printing) By default, gdb may display raw data that can be difficult to interpret, especially for intricate structures This articale shows you how to create such printers via gdb's python api.
