            Bug ID: 18439
           Summary: lazy string value method ignores length
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dje at google dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

const char *s = "abcdef";

python s = gdb.parse_and_eval("s")
python print s.lazy_string(length=3).value()

I would have expected this to print "abc", but it only prints 'a'.
Given how lazy strings are implemented it's easy to see why.
