Try:

	(gdb) x 1.0
	0x000001: 0x12345678
	(gdb) x/v 1.0
	0x000000: 0xc0000000

or more notably:

	(gdb) print struct_val
	{ i = 1, j = 2, k = 1.0 }
	(gdb) info location struct_val
	struct_val is a dwarf2 location expression, its value is scattered 
across memory and registers
	(gdb) x/v struct_val
	0x00000000:  0x00010002   0xc0000000
