Hi,

I set "set print pretty on",
but when I try "show args" some structure pointer parameters are not
displayed
like structure with members but only: "(soap*)0x12345678".
How to display all structure members if I know address and gdb knows this
structure ?

Thanks,
Peter

Is your argument really of type (struct) "soap" or actually of type
"soap *". If it is the latter, GDB is behaving as expected. I don't
think there is any command in GDB that allows you to see the value
of all arguments with pointers automatically dereferenced... So as
far as I know, you'll have to dereference it manually.
