Dear gdb team,
I have been using the python scripting feature of gdb7
The feature is great it let me debug my code much better and in a much flexible way.
There are some features missing which would improve it even more, though.
I want to mention them in case noone did it before.
* *calling functions*: From regular gdb command line the user can allways simply do " p foo()" to call function and print the result, it would be usefull to be able to call C functions (or the debugged lenguage) from python and get the result as a Value object in the same way a variable is accessed.
* *equality of types: *i think there are problems with the equality of types in gdb. Look at the case that two type objects were obtained and represent the same type, the expression 'gdb.lookup_type("int") == gdb.lookup_type("int")' now returns false but it should return true.
