If you could fix that, it would safe me (and possibly every other frontend)= a lot of work! I'm close to deciding that enabling the pretty printers for= the MI variable objects doesn't work. The current issue is that if I have a pointer as a direct or indirect child= of a dynamic variable object, how do I dereference it? The way it is done = without pretty printers is to take the result of -var-info-path-expression,= and than create a variable object for *(resulting-expression).
