I use the MI interface to interact with gdb which by and large works well. I've recently been trying to tighten integration and have discovered that the -symbol-type command doesn't seem to exist, it's referenced in old copies of the documentation however appears to have been dropped. The corresponding ptype command does work however. Can anybody tell me what command supersedes it and how I should access the information? Locally I'm testing with 7.0-debian and 6.6-45.fc8rh however I don't have control over what version my users run with. Ashley, -- Ashley Pittman, Bath, UK.
