gdbmacros.cpp is designed (if that's the correct word to use in this case...) to work with Creator's debugger plugin. Especially with the template classes, gdbmacros.cpp alone will not be sufficient to get "nice" display, even if you get your IDE to call the right functions at the right time. There are basically four options I can see: (a) stick with what Eclipse provides. (b) hack Eclipse to control gdbmacros.cpp like Creator does. (c) wait for Eclipse to pick up gdb 7.0's python based "pretty printing". (d) use Qt Creator.
