Hello gdb list,

I am stuck with debugging C++ application that uses STL.
So, i have a simple code:

#include <iostream>

static int
test(std::string s)
{
    std::cout << s << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    std::string a = "hello";
	
    test(a);
    return 0;
}

while debugging *test* function, i try to print s variable and
i see following stauff, thought i expect to see "hello":

    (gdb) print s.c_str()
    $2 = 0xbf9486d8 "\024pR\b"

gdb version is:

    demon >>> gdb -v
    GNU gdb 6.8-debian
    Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later

thanks in advance.
