Subject: [RFA] Cast char constant to int in sizeof.exp
Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2017 04:53:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170906045306.13440-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
PR gdb/22010 concerns a regression I introduced with the scalar
printing changes. The bug is that this code in sizeof.exp:
set signof_byte [get_integer_valueof "(int) '\\377'" -1]
can incorrectly compute sizeof_byte. One underlying problem here is
that gdb's C parser doesn't treat a char constant as an int (this is
PR 19973).
However, it seems good to have an immediate fix for the regression.
The simplest is to cast to an int here.
