Sorry, I'm missing the routine in coding C. Just learned many languages, but
none of them perfect. There is still so much I have to learn. I tried to watch
varobj.c and found your line for the PyIter Check, but couldn't find the impl
of the error function, just think that i will cause an exception.

The thing is, that the message for -var-list-children is correct, because the
returned value is not iterable. As much as i know bitset doesn't have an
iterator.

The question that I have is more or less, why there is an implemented methode
for children. I thought this methode should be used to resolve the output for
-var-list-children and the to_string should resolve the object for the print
and -data-evaluate-expression of gdb.

But now I see that children is used to print the items, and appends them to the
to _string methode. Is there a way to leave the output for the
var-list-children methode as it was but using the new output for print and
-data-eval...

Would be nice to have some workaround, but bitset is not iterable is the worst
output i can get, even the old is better.

Really appreciate your work. Made debugging much easier.
