<h4 class="subsection">10.9.2 Pretty-Printer Example</h4>
<p>Here is how a C<tt>++</tt> <code>std::string</code> looks without a pretty-printer:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(gdb) print s
$1 = {
static npos = 4294967295,
_M_dataplus = {
&lt;std::allocator&lt;char&gt;&gt; = {
&lt;__gnu_cxx::new_allocator&lt;char&gt;&gt; = {
&lt;No data fields&gt;}, &lt;No data fields&gt;
},
members of std::basic_string&lt;char, std::char_traits&lt;char&gt;,
std::allocator&lt;char&gt; &gt;::_Alloc_hider:
_M_p = 0x804a014 &quot;abcd&quot;
}
}
</pre></div>
<p>With a pretty-printer for <code>std::string</code> only the contents are printed:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(gdb) print s
$2 = &quot;abcd&quot;
</pre></div>
</body>
