I see. But for the same reason this is then also wrong: # echo 'char foo[5] = { 1, 2, 0, 4 };' > foo.c # gcc -c -g foo.c # gdb foo.o (gdb) p foo[0]@4 $1 = "\001\002\000\004" So AIUI gdb must not print a range of chars as a string at all and should really print "{1, 2, 0, 4, 0}" or "{1, 2, 0, 4}", resp., as I'd actually prefer anyway. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
