GDB 7.0 has problem printing character arrays.
If you have declaration in source such as:
char a[100];
print a -> ""
print &a[0] -> "foo bar baz"
On the other hand if you have:
char *b;
print b -> "foo bar baz"
Character arrays in structs have the same problem.

This works just fine for me:
int main()
{
char a[100] = "foo bar baz";
return 0;
}
gcc -g t.c -o t
gdb-7.0/build/gdb/gdb ./t
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0
...
This GDB was configured as "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu".
For bug reporting instructions, please see:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>...
Reading symbols from /tmp/t...done.
(gdb) list
1 int main()
2 {
3 char a[100] = "foo bar baz";
4 return 0;
5 }
(gdb) break 4
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400546: file t.c, line 4.
(gdb) run
Breakpoint 1, main () at t.c:4
4 return 0;
(gdb) print a
$1 = "foo bar baz", '\000' <repeats 88 times>
Please provide a complete test case, as well as complete log of your GDB session
(as I have done above).

Here is an example from a typical debug session:
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0-ubuntu

Reading symbols from
/store/apps/codes/dobby/dev/lnx-2.10-o/bin/dbman...done.
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40cfac: file ../../dbplace.c, line 343.
...
(gdb) p data[0]
$1 = {id = 1, country = "", state = '\000' <repeats 127 times>,
city = "", name = "", comment = "",
start = "\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000",
end = "\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000", longitude = 0,
latitude = 0, elevation = 0}
(gdb) whatis data[0].country
type = char [128]
(gdb) p data[0].country
$2 = ""
(gdb) p &data[0].country[0]
$3 = 0x7ffff7ee8054 "Canada"
(gdb)
I have been seeing this consistently across a broad range of codes.
They are in development, I have bugs, I use gdb - so I cannot say
there is no problem with my codes. They are mainly clean under valgrind.
In any event, the debugger should not have this kind of problem.
I will try your example to see if it is Ubuntu's build that is funny.
Thanks for the reply.

I ran your example and got:
Current directory is /gapps/codes/dobby/db/

Breakpoint 1 at 0x40058e: file foo.c, line 4.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /store/apps/codes/dobby/db/foo
Breakpoint 1, main () at foo.c:4
(gdb) p a
$1 = ""
(gdb) p &a[0]
$2 = 0x7fffffffe0b0 "foo bar baz"
(gdb)
I will submit this to the Ubuntu folks.

The problem appears to be in either GCC or GDB as distributed by Ubuntu.
Both gdb-7.0 (official) and current CVS Head work fine.
