gdb python and 'complete'

[Jeroen Dobbelaere <jeroen dot dobbelaere at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I am trying to create some helper commands using python with gdb-7.1.

One of the things I want to do, is to retrieve the members of a c++
class, do some filtering and
present the result in a nice way.

I tried doing this, by delegating part of the request to the
'complete' command, like in :

class ShowNiceRepresentation(gdb.Command):
...

?? def retrieveFunctionSummary(self):
????? member_list=gdb.execute("complete b 'MyClass::").split("\n")
????? ....

Now, the 'complete' command is indeed retrieving all the member
functions, but it will output them in the terminal in stead of feeding
it back to 'member_list'.

Is there a way to redirect the output, so that the python program can
investigate it ?
Or is there a more appropriate way to access the members of a c++
class form within python ?

Greetings,
