Okay, here's some fresh test results.  The type of "print this" in
a const method is:

  "A *"
    native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, gcc 2.95.3, -gstabs+
    native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, gcc 3.0.2, -gstabs+
    native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, gcc HEAD, -gstabs+
    native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, gcc gcc-3_0-branch, -gstabs+

  "const A * const"
    native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, gcc 2.95.3, -gdwarf-2
    native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, gcc 3.0.2, -gdwarf-2
    native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, gcc HEAD, -gdwarf-2
    native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb HEAD, gcc gcc-3_0-branch, -gdwarf-2

This is an improvement from 2001-12-22, when dwarf-2 + v3 compiler
resulted in "A * const".

So over in Fred Fish's patch, I'd like to see fragment #2 look
something like this:

    get_debug_format
    setup_xfail_format stabs
    ...
    -re "\\$\[0-9\]* = \\(const A \\*( const)?\\) $hex\r\n$gdb_prompt $" {

I'd like the first const to be mandatory, with an xfail for stabs.

(My paperwork is almost done, and then I can commit my own patches
as well as approve other people's).
