[PATCH] Fix gdb.Value->python conversion for large unsigned ints

[PATCH] Fix gdb.Value->python conversion for large unsigned ints

[Doug Evans]

Hi.

I was seeing this in gdb:

(gdb) py print long(gdb.Value(18446744071563607160))
-2145944456

whereas with plain python:

(gdb) py print long(18446744071563607160)
18446744071563607160

	testsuite/
	* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_creation): Add test for large
	unsigned 64-bit value.

Looks like this fell through the cracks?

LGTM.

[sorry for the resend ...
We've got gdb to use c++ now. Yay.
Can we maybe someday get the list to not bounce text/html?]

Thanks!
I usually do an audit of email sent to gdb-patches every few months.
Totally missed this one (and potentially others - a distracting year
for many reasons -
I'll go through and try to find if there's any more).

Committed.
