Protocol Buffers and pretty print

[Saptarshi]

Hello,
I'm new to using Protocol Buffers and am debugging my program.
Is there a way to pretty print a Message? (I'm new to C++ too and have
tried reading the API but probably missed it).

Also if stepping through GDB and given
REXP *rxp = new REXP();
..
rxp filled in
...

how can i do something like :

print(rxp)
in gdb to get the contents?

Thank you
Saptarshi

Thank you

message->DebugString() is a shortcut that returns a string representation of the message.

This was exactly what I needed. Much thanks.
