    I'm trying to track down a bug in Python 3.0 (or my program?). I fixed
    some functions of gdbinit:

    • pystack and pylocals: use the new function py_printstr
    • lineno: call CPython "PyCode_Addr2Line" instead of ugly gdb
      reimplementation

    New functions:

    • py_decref: decrement the reference counter and *always* call
      _Py_Dealloc(obj)
    • py_printstr: display a string as UTF-8 using printf "%s" and
      PyUnicodeUCS2_AsUTF8String()

    Problem: PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() is unknown, so I have to use
    PyUnicodeUCS2_AsUTF8String... (but it can be UCS4)

    I'm unable to test pylocals, I don't know the good context to test it.
    In PyEval_EvalFrameEx if fails because "f" is unknown but pystack
    works and pystack calls lineno which uses "f" !?

    I fixed some problems in r66016. This patch seems like it has other
    things which might be useful, so I'll keep it open until it's handled.

    The patch is now outdated.

    The gdbinit file for Python 3 is still broken. I've not been able to
    figure out how to get a string encoded as utf-8 from a Unicode object
    without needing a process around. If you require a process then
    gdbinit becomes much less useful since it won't work with core files.
