This directory includes a Python module which will integrate with gdb which

can be used to pretty-print various Subversion types. For additional

information about gdb pretty-printing, see:

http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Pretty-Printing.html

How to Use

----------

To enable pretty printing of selected Subversion types, put the following code

in your ~/.gdbinit:

[[[

python

import sys, os.path

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.expanduser('~/dev/svn-trunk/tools/dev/gdb-py'))

from svndbg.printers import register_libsvn_printers

register_libsvn_printers(None)

end

]]]

Change the path to point to the correct location on your platform for the

gdb-py directory, and then load gdb. Everything should Just Work.

(I believe this requires gdb >= 7.0, but earlier versions may also work.)

The list of currently supported types for pretty printing is a bit lacking,

so should you run into a type which could be useful to be pretty printed,

read the documentation referenced above and follow the existing examples

to extend the pretty-printing support. Enjoy!
