Second, what to do if someone installs gcc in a non-standard location that is not known by gdb. I agree that by reading the gdb info one can come up with these commands in his .gdbinit, ------------- add-auto-load-safe-path GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/gcc-4.8.0/python python import sys sys.path.insert(0, 'GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/gcc-4.8.0/python') from libstdcxx.v6.printers import register_libstdcxx_printers register_libstdcxx_printers (None) end ------------ but reporting them in gcc's manual would help.
