             Bug #: 13380
           Summary: value.cast(value.type.strip_typedefs()) does not work
                    for array typedefs
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: andre.poenitz@nokia.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Given

  typedef char Foo[20];  
  Foo foo = "foo";

and

  value = gdb.parse_and_eval("foo")
  value.cast(value.type.strip_typedefs())

I get a

  "RuntimeError: Invalid cast."


I would have expected a value with type char[20]

As workaround:

  python print gdb.parse_and_eval("{%s}%s" % (f.type.strip_typedefs(), 

produces the expected

  ~"\"foo\", '\\000' <repeats 16 times>\n"
