+@node Type Printing API
+@subsubsection Type Printing API
+@cindex type printing API for Python
+
+@value{GDBN} provides a way for Python code to customize type display.
+This is mainly useful for substituting canonical typedef names for
+types.
+
+@cindex type printer
+A @dfn{type printer} is just a Python object conforming to a certain
+protocol. A simple base class implementing the protocol is provided;
+see @ref{gdb.types}. A type printer must supply at least:
+
+@defivar type_printer enabled
+A boolean which is True if the printer is enabled, and False
+otherwise. This is manipulated by the @code{enable type-printer}
+and @code{disable type-printer} commands.
+@end defivar
+
+@defivar type_printer name
+The name of the type printer. This must be a string. This is used by
+the @code{enable type-printer} and @code{disable type-printer}
+commands.
+@end defivar
+
+@defmethod type_printer instantiate (self)
+This is called by @value{GDBN} at the start of type-printing. It is
+only called if the type printer is enabled. This method must return a
+new object that supplies a @code{recognize} method, as described below.
+@end defmethod
+
+
+When displaying a type, say via the @code{ptype} command, @value{GDBN}
+will compute a list of type recognizers. This is done by iterating
+first over the per-objfile type printers (@pxref{Objfiles In Python}),
+followed by the per-progspace type printers (@pxref{Progspaces In
+Python}), and finally the global type printers.
+
+@value{GDBN} will call the @code{instantiate} method of each enabled
+type printer. If this method returns @code{None}, then the result is
+ignored; otherwise, it is appended to the list of recognizers.
+
+Then, when @value{GDBN} is going to display a type name, it iterates
+over the list of recognizers. For each one, it calls the recognition
+function, stopping if the function returns a non-@code{None} value.
+The recognition function is defined as:
+
+@defmethod type_recognizer recognize (self, type)
+If @var{type} is not recognized, return @code{None}. Otherwise,
+return a string which is to be printed as the name of @var{type}.
+@var{type} will be an instance of @code{gdb.Type} (@pxref{Types In
+Python}).
+@end defmethod
+
+@value{GDBN} uses this two-pass approach so that type printers can
+efficiently cache information without holding on to it too long. For
+example, it can be convenient to look up type information in a type
+printer and hold it for a recognizer's lifetime; if a single pass were
+done then type printers would have to make use of the event system in
+order to avoid holding information that could become stale as the
+inferior changed.
