 ===To Do===
 The third column in the Codeblocks popup and watch window displays a long unformatted string. Codeblocks is calling the GDB whatis command. Can this command be Pretty-Printed?

 ==Test with GDB==
-*Ensure GDB is python-enabled. For Linux (tested with recent Ubuntu), it is enabled by default with GCC/GDB. For Windows, MinGW's GDB is not python enabled. One option is to install [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/ MinGW-Builds] over MinGW (consider backing up MinGW first). This updates GCC to 4.7.2 and includes a Python enabled GDB.
