David Malcolm and I had this discussion at the Cauldron last year - pretty-printing support for various structures in glibc. This discussion came up on list too and I believe there was consensus[1] on hosting this code within the glibc source tree. We could start with getting a student to merge the gdb-heap[2] code that David had written (with David's permission of course). Other than that, there are a bunch of information (off the top of my head) that could use pretty-printers: - FILE struct - struct pthread - dynamic linker data - TLS data - thread stack information Siddhesh [1] https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-10/msg00921.html [2] https://fedorahosted.org/gdb-heap/
