Pretty-print support for GDB

[LukasLang]

Is it possible to get pretty-print support for data-structures and custom types? It seems that not even STL types (e.g. std::vector) can be inspected easily by default:

 

std::_Vector_base<int, std::allocator<int> > = {...}
 std::_Vector_base<int, std::allocator<int> > = Variable object not found

This is all that is shown for a std::vector<int>.

Looking into this, it seems that GDB can do this via python-based pretty printers, which even seem to be available for for the libstdc++ bundled with the IDE, e.g. "/opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.19.0/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.14.3.rel1.linux64_1.0.0.202510151430/tools/arm-none-eabi/lib/thumb/v7e-m+fp/hard/libstdc++.a-gdb.py"

However, Python support seems to be disabled for GDB, which I guess is the reason this isn't working?

Python scripting is not supported in this copy of GDB.

So: Is there any current support for something like this? Or is it at least planned?

hi @LukasLang 

there is no task planned for the moment to enable python scripting in GDB build, I'll share with dev and marketing but don't think it will be available soon if accepted

Any updates?
