Weston Pace updated ARROW-11348:
--------------------------------
Description: Parsing the GDB output is error prone and can take
considerable time. Also, some information is difficult or non-intuitive to get
to (e.g. the name of a data type). We should add [GDB pretty
printers|https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Pretty-Printing-API.html#Pretty-Printing-API]
to improve the debug workflow for developers. This could assist not just
Arrow developers but also developers using the Arrow C++ libs. (was: Parsing
