задача #183
Python pretty-printer script (tools/gdb/pip_pp.py) for the GDB debugger:

PIString (UTF-16, escapes, surrogate pairs), PIByteArray (hex), PIChar
PIVector, PIDeque, PIStringList, PIMap<K,V>, PISet, PIPair<K,V>
PIVariant (type + serialized size)
pointers: (PIString *) 0x... "hello"; long containers truncated
manual: gdb source tools/gdb/pip_pp.py
automatic: CMake install ships share/pip/gdb/pip_pp.py and the
libpip.so-gdb.py auto-load stub next to the library (shared builds)
verification: tools/gdb/test/test_pp.sh
docs: doc/pages/debugging.md
