GDB pretty-printing of unordered_map<std::type_index, T> crashes connection to debugger

Issue Type: Bug

To reproduce:

• Compile (with debug info) any code including a std::unordered_map containing std::type_index. For example:

#include <unordered_map>
#include <typeindex>

int main() {
    int x=5;
    std::unordered_map<std::type_index, int> m {
        { typeid(int), 1 },
        { typeid(double), 2}
    };
    return 0;
}

• Put a breakpoint after the map has some data in it (the return line above)
• Set up a launch.json similar to this:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "g++ - Build and debug active file",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "<path to exe>",
            "args": [],
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "environment": [],
            "externalConsole": false,
            "MIMode": "gdb",
            "miDebuggerPath": "/opt/rh/devtoolset-7/root/usr/bin/gdb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": false
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

• Launch the debugger. At the breakpoint, look at the variables (in the variables or watch window, or by hovering).

Actual behaviour: as soon as an attempt is made to visualise the map, the debug session crashes, giving Stopping due to fatal error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in the Debug console.

Expected behaviour: we get a visualisation of the map.

For comparison, if I run -exec p m, I get

Keine Quelldatei oder kein Test ist angegeben. Beginnen Sie damit, das Problem mit dem bereitgestellten C++ unordered_map-Beispiel zu reproduzieren, und untersuchen Sie die Variablenanforderung für die Map-Kinder in GDB/MI, indem Sie sie mit der erfolgreichen Konsolenauswertung vergleichen. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn das Anzeigen der Map im Variables- oder Watch-Fenster die Debug-Sitzung nicht mehr zum Absturz bringt und ihre Einträge anzeigt.
