Additionally I noticed that if I use (short *) instead of (bool *) everything is fine What is wrong with 'bool'?? 

Is it a C or C++ program?  GDB doesn't know anything about the bool
type in C, because it's not part of the C language.


It would seem harmless for gdb to recognize bool rather than giving
an error, given it is such standard usage (gdb is not a C compiler,
it does not have to strenuously implement the standard :-))

Or, if you are not willing to make that junk, special casing the
error message might be helpful.
