[Bug mi/11335] -var-evaluate-expression should return the pretty printer's to_string result


------- Additional Comments From vladimir at codesourcery dot com  2010-03-06 08:14 -------
Could you clarify why you even want to use -data-evaluate-expression? Is that
because you're adding pretty-printing to CDT and CDT, for some unknown reason,
wants to display "variable details" for selected node in the variables tree?

I am opposed to bloating the output of -var-update and or -var-list-children
with full text (=CLI) rendering of that varobj, because such a design would
require that GDB, fetches entire value from memory, always. It might be
possible to introduce a separate command, or add --varobj option to -data-
