> A pointer to a cook book would be really helpful. Thank you so much!

My point of view of a "cookbook" solution to extending GDB would be to
use the Python extension interface. It does depend on having a GDB that
includes Python support, but python suppport has been around for a while,
now, so I do not think it is an unreasonable assumption.
