--- Comment #7 from Gustaf Waldemarson <gustaf.waldemarson at gmail dot com> --- Very interesting to see so many people chime in on this. Since I arguably agree that this looks like a GDB bug than an error in the printers. To that end, I went ahead and registered this [ticket](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30018) here. Please feel free to add some more details if you have time, as some of the details presented here is admittedly a bit beyond my skills. All that said, I still think that the pretty printers should be a bit more defensive to errors and conservative with what it outputs. E.g., presenting an error message once, due to something like this is fine in my opinion, but displaying hundreds of lines with the same error just because some function uses a hash-map is clearly excessive. To that end, perhaps it would make sense to defend the `to_string` calls (and possibly others) with something like this: seen_errors = {} # ... try: to_string(...) except Exception as ex: if ex not in seen_errors: seen_errors.add(ex) raise ex Admittedly, I don't know all the details here, so perhaps this isn't feasible?
