That is ridiculous. Let me make something clear. In order to integrate
GDB with, say perl, you would either 

   1. Have to write a parser. (regex, recursive decent)
      BTW, I guarantee the parser will have to be updated with every
      release of GDB.
   2. Do nothing but use the information given to you.
      BTW, you will never ever have to worry about what GDB outputs,
      because it is irrelevant. You get the info you want, and you use
      it.
