gppfs - GDB pretty printers for STLport

Introduction

This python module provides GDB pretty printers for the containers from STLport. It is based on a similar python module for libstdc++. It has been tested with GDB versions 7.0.1, 7.2, and 7.4.1 and STLport versions 4.6.2, 5.0.3, 5.1.7, and 5.2.1.

Example

With these pretty printers GDB prints an instance of std::string from STLport as

$1 = "Hello World!"

instead of the very hard to understand real structure:

$2 = {
  <stlp_std::priv::_String_base<char, stlp_std::allocator<char> >> = {
    _M_buffers = {
      _M_end_of_storage = 0x6f57206f6c6c6548 <Address 0x6f57206f6c6c6548 out of bounds>,
      _M_static_buf = "Hello World!\000\177\000\000\266\005\000\000\001\000\000\000p\331\377\377\377\177\000"
    },
    _M_finish = 0x7fffffffd8ec "",
    _M_start_of_storage = {
      <stlp_std::allocator<char>> = {
        <stlp_std::__stlport_class<stlp_std::allocator<char> >> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},
      members of stlp_std::priv::_STLP_alloc_proxy<char*, char, stlp_std::allocator<char> >:
      _M_data = 0x7fffffffd8e0 "Hello World!"
    }
  },
  members of stlp_std::priv::_NonDbg_str<char, stlp_std::char_traits<char>, stlp_std::allocator<char> >:
  static npos = <optimized out>
}

(The structure is even more complex if -D_STLP_DEBUG is used.)
