Without any explicit dependencies specified, the observers attached to the 'gdb::observers::new_objfile' observable are always notified in the order in which they have been attached. The new_objfile observer callback to auto-load scripts is attached in '_initialize_auto_load'. The new_objfile observer callback that propagates the new_objfile event to the Python side is attached in 'gdbpy_initialize_inferior', which is called via '_initialize_python'. With '_initialize_python' happening before '_initialize_auto_load', the consequence was that the new_objfile event was emitted on the Python side before autoloaded scripts had been executed when a new objfile was loaded. As a result, trying to access the objfile's pretty printers (defined in the autoloaded script) from a handler for the Python-side 'new_objfile' event would fail. Those would only be initialized later on (when the 'auto_load_new_objfile' callback was called). To make sure that the objfile passed to the Python event handler is properly initialized (including its 'pretty_printers' member), make sure that the 'auto_load_new_objfile' observer is notified before the 'python_new_objfile' one that propagates the event to the Python side. To do this, make use of the mechanism to explicitly specify dependencies between observers (introduced in a preparatory commit). Add a corresponding testcase that involves a test library with an autoloaded Python script and a handler for the Python 'new_objfile' event. (The real world use case where I came across this issue was in an attempt to extend handling for GDB pretty printers for dynamically loaded objfiles in the Qt Creator IDE, s. [1] and [2] for more background.)
