I had to find an answer to your interesting comment now myself: # The string identification works despite the compiler flags below due to # gdbtypes.c: # if (name && strcmp (name, "char") == 0) # TYPE_FLAGS (type) |= TYPE_FLAG_NOSIGN; Provided there now an additional explicit testcase targeting your comment. > Anyway, this change should probably be reflected in the manual, and > perhaps also in NEWS.

Originally posted by personal mail only, formally submitted before as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=224128 Attaching also "gdb-cvs-nosign-char.patch" for possible comments. It starts printing $1 = {65 'A', 0 '\0'} finally as $1 = {65, 0} Not submitting it for commit review as it breaks the whole testsuite. Still if anybody could update the testsuite it would be IMO a helpful patch. Currently GDB displays the variants " 'X'" in many inappropriate cases. Regards, Lace
