Hello,

I have progressed so I can take a "unsigned long" value which is bit 
encoded and display it using the display hint 'struct' and a pretty 
print iterator. For example:

(gdb) p the_semaphore->Object.id
$36 = to_string = {
   id = 436273170,
   node = 1,
   api = classic,
   class = semaphores,
   index = 18
}

How do I remove the extra "to_string =" ?

I have also noticed this:

(gdb) p /x the_semaphore->Object.id
$37 = 0x1a010012

Is it expected the actual value is shown in hex rather than the numeric 
fields returned by the pretty print iterator ?

Chris
