[Bug python/10710] New: libstdc++ UniquePointerPrinter GDB Python printer does not work

["pmuldoon at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Given this example:

std::unique_ptr<char[]> t_uptr (new char[1]);
t_uptr[0] = 'z';

The output from the pretty printer reads:

t_uptr = {
  <std::_Tuple_impl<0ul, char*, std::default_delete<char []> >> = {
    <std::_Tuple_impl<1ul, std::default_delete<char []> >> = {
      <std::_Tuple_impl<2ul>> = {<No data fields>},
      <std::_Head_base<1ul, std::default_delete<char []>, true>> = {
        <std::default_delete<char []>> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},
<No data fields>},
    <std::_Head_base<0ul, char*, false>> = {
      _M_head_impl = 0x61b7b0 "z"
    }, <No data fields>}, <No data fields>}

Which is incorrect. It seems the printer needs to access _M_head_impl. The
following trivial patch fixes it in this simple case, but I've not tested this
at all beyond my one case. If this patch is applied, the output is:

(gdb) p t_uptr 
$1 = 0x61b7b0 "z"
