Eli> Can you tell where and in what situations will this be useful?
Right now, if the inferior uses 128-bit integer types, then 'print'
works but no other operations work. So for example, you cannot "print x + 1".
128-bit types are somewhat more common now. Several of the languages
gdb supports have them (at least C, C++, Rust, and Ada).
Eli> Also, don't we need to announce this, at least in NEWS?
I added this:
* GDB now has some support for integer types larger than 64 bits.
