Hi all,

the Frame.read_var() method does not behave as (I) excpected when print 
address is set to off

(gdb) set print address on
(gdb) python print len(str(gdb.selected_frame().read_var("argv")))
10
(gdb) set print address off
(gdb) python print len(str(gdb.selected_frame().read_var("argv")))
0

It's not a blocking issue for me but I guess this is not the expected 
behavior ;)

Regards,

It does seem odd.  Could you file a bug report for this?

Tom
