Hey Again,
I will apologize in advance for all the questions I ask. I am using
gdb-20010529 on a Mandrake 7.2 system with glibc 2.1.3.
OK, the first thing is, does GDB support printing the data that a pointer
points to? I does for C, but with Pascal source it gives unable to
reference generic pointer errors (casting with print on the command line
results in the same error).
Is there a mechanism to print Pascal Strings in gdb. Currently, type casted
or not, it displays incomplete type the error when printing a Pascal string.
I believe it should displays the capacity, length, and contents.
If they don't exist, I'm going to give it a shot to write them.....
Thank you,
Adam Oldham
