Re: set print null-stop

[Alexander Petukhov <al_petukhov@mail.ru>]

well, sorry for  inattention, 7.2 doesn't have this bug and I've found it in the tracker 
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11049

Thanks for giving a right direction.

By the way, after executing "set print null-stop" in MI mode -data-evaluate-expression also start to
work well, though I understand it's not a good idea to mix MI and not-MI commands 

(gdb) 
-data-evaluate-expression str
^done,value="\"i=0\\000\\000\\000\""
(gdb) 
set print null-stop
&"set print null-stop\n"
^done
(gdb) 
-data-evaluate-expression str
^done,value="\"i=0\""
