[libcxx-commits] [PATCH] D113244: Simplify the libcxx std::string_view gdb pretty printer

[Sterling Augustine via Phabricator via libcxx-commits]

saugustine added a comment.

The google internal absl::string_view printer included the length prior to the standardization of string_view, and we didn't contribute those pretty printers to libstdc++ when it was standardized, so some of this is simply an old choice that didn't get propagated to libstdc++. The original formatting is useful to see that you are working with a non-null terminated string_view.

What motivates the change? Just compatibility with libstdc++?
