Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2004-09/txt/msg00123.txt.bz2 Hello, GDB has the variable types: /* Unsigned Integer. *VAR is an unsigned int. The user can type 0 to mean "unlimited", which is stored in *VAR as UINT_MAX. */ var_uinteger, /* Like var_uinteger but signed. *VAR is an int. The user can type 0 to mean "unlimited", which is stored in *VAR as INT_MAX. */ var_integer, /* ZeroableInteger. *VAR is an int. Like Unsigned Integer except that zero really means zero. */ var_zinteger, I think calling something "integer" or "unsigned integer" but then not allowing the value zero is just plain weird. Would anyone have better names for the first two? Andrew
