You can't do that as a plugin in KDevelop3, you have to do that for the gdb support
inside the gdb plugin (languages/cpp/debugger). There's no interface
exposed to get at the variables in the debugger.

However as others have said, kdevelop3 development is dead and I suggest to
try to do it within kdevelop4.
