Here is how a C++ std::string
looks without a pretty-printer:
(gdb) print s $1 = { static npos = 4294967295, _M_dataplus = { <std::allocator<char>> = { <__gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>> = { <No data fields>}, <No data fields> }, members of std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::_Alloc_hider: _M_p = 0x804a014 "abcd" } }
With a pretty-printer for std::string
only the contents are printed:
(gdb) print s $2 = "abcd"
