I'm trying to track down a bug in Python 3.0 (or my program?). I fixed some functions of gdbinit: - pystack and pylocals: use the new function py_printstr - lineno: call CPython "PyCode_Addr2Line" instead of ugly gdb reimplementation New functions: - py_decref: decrement the reference counter and *always* call _Py_Dealloc(obj) - py_printstr: display a string as UTF-8 using printf "%s" and PyUnicodeUCS2_AsUTF8String() Problem: PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() is unknown, so I have to use PyUnicodeUCS2_AsUTF8String... (but it can be UCS4) I'm unable to test pylocals, I don't know the good context to test it. In PyEval_EvalFrameEx if fails because "f" is unknown but pystack works and pystack calls lineno which uses "f" !?

I fixed some problems in r66016. This patch seems like it has other things which might be useful, so I'll keep it open until it's handled.

The patch is now outdated.

The gdbinit file for Python 3 is still broken. I've not been able to figure out how to get a string encoded as utf-8 from a Unicode object without needing a process around. If you require a process then gdbinit becomes much less useful since it won't work with core files.
