[Bug python/10662] New: Feature regression with pretty printed types

[alexl at redhat dot com]

With no pretty printer a pointer variable is shown differently in a backtrace
and when its printer. For instance:
#11 0xf5299998 in g_main_context_iterate (context=0x6dd490,...) at gmain.c:2591
(gdb) p context
$4 = (GMainContext *) 0x6dd490

However, if i add a pretty printer for a pointer type this disappears. For
instance, here is a pretty printer that adds runtime type info:
(gdb) p/r widget
$2 = (GtkWidget *) 0x73e040
(gdb) p widget
$3 = 0x73e040 [GeditWindow]

I could add the defined type in the pretty printer, but then it would also
always be visible in the backtraces. I would like to get some kind of flag to
the to_string() method (or maybe an additional optional method) so i can decide
which version to return.

Didn't knew this bug in 2009 will still be a thing today. Thanks for
clarifying.
