Subject: Extending GDB: Python: Wrong handling of 64-bit pointers
Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2012 17:15:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y5jfr1ri.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
As the following CLI interactions show, GDB's python support code seems to be
mishandling 64-bit pointers (GNU/Linux on x86-64):
NOTE: "p" is a pointer of type "struct task_struct *"
(gdb) python print gdb.parse_and_eval("p")
0xffff88001f5f7600
(gdb) python print long(gdb.parse_and_eval("p"))
-131940868983296
(gdb) show version
show version

Is it GDB or am I messing up something here?
