From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Fernando Nasser To: gdb@sources.redhat.com Subject: Warning: something weird with void* types. Date: Mon, 07 May 2001 10:25:00 -0000 Message-id: <3AF6D9F3.ADD7A779@redhat.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-05/msg00086.html FYI, we are having to make a change in Insight to cope with a funny thing that recently appeared in GDB. The target type of a void* does not have the type name set to "void" any longer. (gdb) p *type $3 = {code = TYPE_CODE_PTR, name = 0x0, tag_name = 0x0, length = 4, upper_bound_type = 0, lower_bound_type = 0, objfile = 0x854e998, target_type = 0x8bcd5d8, pointer_type = 0x0, reference_type = 0x0, cv_type = 0x8bcd61c, flags = 1, nfields = 0, fields = 0x0, vptr_basetype = 0x0, vptr_fieldno = -1, type_specific = {arg_types = 0x0, cplus_stuff = 0x0}} (gdb) p *target $4 = {code = TYPE_CODE_VOID, name = 0x0, tag_name = 0x0, length = 1, upper_bound_type = 0, lower_bound_type = 0, objfile = 0x854e998, target_type = 0x0, pointer_type = 0x8bcd61c, reference_type = 0x0, cv_type = 0x8bcd5d8, flags = 0, nfields = 0, fields = 0x0, vptr_basetype = 0x0, vptr_fieldno = -1, type_specific = {arg_types = 0x0, cplus_stuff = 0x0}} As you see, TYPE_CODE_VOID does not have a name anymore, at least when it is the target of a (void *) type.. -- Fernando Nasser Red Hat Canada Ltd.
