This directory contains pretty-printers which make easier to read ISC BIND data structures in GDB with Python support.
Some of the pretty printers need values specified in BIND's header files.
You have to run script gen_json_dict.py for each pretty-printer
before you start using it.
The script compiles short C program which prints values from the BIND header files. Requirements are GNU cpp and gcc.
To use pretty-printers, simply source the files into GDB: (gdb) source /path/to/pretty/pp.py
BEWARE: The pretty printers work well if memory is not corrupted. Disable pretty printers if you suspect memory corruption: (gdb) disable pretty-printer
