def gdb.types.apply_type_recognizers	(		recognizers,
			type_obj
	)

Apply the given list of type recognizers to the type TYPE_OBJ.
If any recognizer in the list recognizes TYPE_OBJ, returns the name
given by the recognizer.  Otherwise, this returns None.

def gdb.types.deep_items

(

type_

)

Return an iterator that recursively traverses anonymous fields.

Arguments:
    type_: The type to traverse.  It should be one of
    gdb.TYPE_CODE_STRUCT or gdb.TYPE_CODE_UNION.

Returns:
    an iterator similar to gdb.Type.iteritems(), i.e., it returns
    pairs of key, value, but for any anonymous struct or union
    field that field is traversed recursively, depth-first.

def gdb.types.get_basic_type

(

type_

)

Return the "basic" type of a type.

Arguments:
    type_: The type to reduce to its basic type.

Returns:
    type_ with const/volatile is stripped away,
    and typedefs/references converted to the underlying type.

def gdb.types.has_field	(		type_,
			field
	)

Return True if a type has the specified field.

Arguments:
    type_: The type to examine.
        It must be one of gdb.TYPE_CODE_STRUCT, gdb.TYPE_CODE_UNION.
    field: The name of the field to look up.

Returns:
    True if the field is present either in type_ or any baseclass.

Raises:
    TypeError: The type is not a struct or union.

def gdb.types.make_enum_dict

(

enum_type

)

Return a dictionary from a program's enum type.

Arguments:
    enum_type: The enum to compute the dictionary for.

Returns:
    The dictionary of the enum.

Raises:
    TypeError: The type is not an enum.

def gdb.types.register_type_printer	(		locus,
			printer
	)

Register a type printer.
PRINTER is the type printer instance.
LOCUS is either an objfile, a program space, or None, indicating
global registration.
