pretty printing

• When printing variables - gdb prints them on a single long line.
• Here is a convoluted struct printed by gdb:

  (gdb) print v
  $1 = {num1 = 4, num2 = 1999759, more = {val1 = 99 'c', val2 = 100 'd', arr1 = {
        0, 573440, 1146880, 1720320, 2293760, 2867200, 3440640, 4014080, 
        4587520, 5160960}}}
       

• Lets make it nicer:

  (gdb) set print pretty on 
  (gdb) print v
  $2 = {
    num1 = 4, 
    num2 = 1999759, 
    more = {
      val1 = 99 'c', 
      val2 = 100 'd', 
      arr1 = {0, 573440, 1146880, 1720320, 2293760, 2867200, 3440640, 4014080, 
        4587520, 5160960}
    }
  }
