** GDB values in Python are now callable if the value represents a
function. For example, if 'some_value' represents a function that
takes two integer parameters and returns a value, you can call

Python scripts can add observers to be notified of events

- The following events are currently supported:
- - gdb.events.cont Continue event.
- - gdb.events.exited Inferior exited event.
- - gdb.events.stop Signal received, and Breakpoint hit events.
