I'm a little off topic here...

I guess you want to dump the map content for debugging. I like to mention that the next gdb release (version 7.0) will have a built in python interpreter which will be used by the gcc libstdc++ to provide stl pretty printers. Here is an example for your case

  #include 

which results in

(gdb) print mymap
$1 = std::map with 2 elements = {
  ["bar"] = std::list = {
    [0] = "item 1",
    [1] = "item 2"
  },
  ["foo"] = std::list = {
    [0] = "item 1",
    [1] = "item 2"
  }
}

Yay!
