patch is ok.
which makes me feel guilty not to have used it as is.

But the mail you wrote made me see an alternative that I have 
implemented now (please test, r 34294)

Still thanks for it, your idea of the name/format record brought it to life.

First I have moved the formats by name into a class of it's own.
Then I put an instance on the IDE side and allowed the gdb side to see a 
copy.

So now I can manage it on the IDE site and the gdb site has access

Storing by name works always. Because to access anything by index the 
Count is needed, and the count only exists if the names are known. So 
when accessing a format by index, there always is a name.
