           Summary: multi-level pretty-printing
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: tromey@redhat.com


A frequently requested feature is the ability to do
"multi-level" pretty-printing.  The idea here is that a printer
can return a child which is of some synthetic type not existing
in the inferior; that way it can specify a multi-level display
of some kind.

One way to achieve this would be to make it possible for a
printer's child to itself be a printer; then use that printer
directly rather than attempting to convert to a value.
