Initial support for VDB python-based variable objects Due to a limitation of GDB itself, one cannot create variable object for "synthetic" argument/local created by custom frame decorator. Therefore one cannot "dig deeper" and inspect contents of such a variable in case it is a kind of composite - like an object on a heap referring to another objects. This is a problem when a debugee is does not have debug information and / or it's language is not C - such as when debugging JITed code. This (experimental) commit adds a parallel implementation of variable objects done completely in python. This new varobj MI interface is a super-set of GDB's builtin varobj MI interface.
