[PATCH] Fix for miscexprs test "failure"

[PATCH] Fix for miscexprs test "failure"

[ahaas]

Hi.

Attached is a patch which solves the single "failure" in the
'miscexprs' tests - the problem is with the test program, not
gdb.

The test script asks gdb to print out the address of character
array member in a structure. The problem is that the array is not
initialized to anything, so when printing out the value, you
get something like

$1 = 0xbfffef34 "{stuff}"

and the test expects

$1 = 0xbfffef34 ""

My solution is simple as is indicated in the patch.

Enjoy.

Thanks very much for this patch!  My own tests weren't showing this as
a fail, but it's clearly system-dependent to depend on uninitialized
data having a particular value.

I'm going to put this in the main repository, but not in the 4.18
branch, since it's small.  There are actually a bunch of trunk changes
that are not going to be in 4.18, I'll make a snap from the trunk
before 4.18 is done if anybody asks for it.
