The `stdcxx.py` script, as Chris has already mentioned, would be installed fresh with every new build with the modifications to the RSB. @chris Are you suggesting we make a new file (`pprinters.py` ) and have that load `stdcxx.py` and other printers? What I had in mind was a little different: We could have a separate directory under `share/gdb/python/rtems` specially for RTEMS specific pretty-printers, and leave `stdcxx.py` as it is since it is only for loading the printers that GCC provides. I felt that would also provide a nice distinction between the two. We can modify `__init__.py` under `gdb/python/rtems` to automatically import every file under that directory at initialisation time, so the support is always there for both regardless and we would not need to modify the custom section at all. Please let me know what you think of this. -- View it on GitLab: https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/rtos/rtems/-/merge_requests/98#note_109364 You're receiving this email because of your account on gitlab.rtems.org.
