printing stl containers with gdb 7.0

I have installed GDB 7.0 and python per the following instructions. In the same manual, there is a mention of this file stl-views-1.0.3.gdb. What confuses me is where it should be placed in order to enable pretty printing of stl containers. Would someone also explain to me all of this work?

Thanks

As far as I can tell, stl-views are the old way to examine STL containers, and are inferior to the new python support in almost every way.

You should use libstdcxx_printers python pretty-printers instead.

in the gdb:

source {full_path}stl-views-1.0.3.gdb

now you'll have new commands, such as pvector, plist, pmap and more (replace {full_path} with the full path to the file.

You can also put the command source stl-views-1.0.3.gdb in ~/.gdbinit - and then you'll have it automatically every time you launch gdb.
