When debug info is missing, -mi-var-create returns the '<incomplete type>' value:

  41-mi-var-create var1_buf * \"buf\""
  41^done,name="var1_buf",numchild="0",value="<incomplete type>",type="std::stringbuf",thread-id="1",displayhint="string",dynamic="1",has_more="0"

Debugger users can google for '<incomplete type>' and find possible ways
to address the problem.

Is it possible to detect such an incomplete type in python api?

Not really.  type::is_stub could probably be exposed to Python though.
