"""
Load this file to your GDB session to enable pretty-printing of some Godot C++ types.
GDB command: `source misc/utility/godot_gdb_pretty_print.py`.
To load these automatically in Visual Studio Code, add the source command to
the `setupCommands` of your configuration in `launch.json`:
```json
"setupCommands": [
...
{
"description": "Load custom pretty-printers for Godot types.",
"text": "source ${workspaceFolder}/misc/utility/godot_gdb_pretty_print.py"
}
]
```
Other UIs that use GDB under the hood are likely to have their own ways to achieve this.
To debug this script it's easiest to use the interactive python from a command-line
GDB session. Stop at a breakpoint, then use python-interactive to enter the python shell
and acquire a `Value` object using `gdb.selected_frame().read_var("variable name")`.
From there you can figure out how to print it nicely.
