# Pretty printers for Eigen::Matrix
# This is still pretty basic as the python extension to gdb is still pretty basic. 
# It cannot handle complex eigen types and it doesn't support any of the other eigen types
# Such as quaternion or some other type. 
# This code supports fixed size as well as dynamic size matrices

# To use it:
#
# * create a directory and put the file as well as an empty __init__.py in that directory
# * Create a ~/.gdbinit file, that contains the following:


import gdb
import re
import itertools
