gdb=HEAD%2003-02-15, gcc=3.2.2, binutils=2.13.2.1, glibc=2.2.93-5-rh
gformat=dwarf-2
>Description:
The test issues the command:

  -var-create fooPtr * foo

gdb replies with:

  ^done,name="fooPtr",numchild="3",type="struct _foo *"

The correct reply is:

  ^done,name="fooPtr",numchild="3",type="Foo *"

stabs+ gets this right with all compilers.
dwarf-2 is okay with HEAD%20030214 and gcc-3_3-branch%20030214.
dwarf-2 is broken with gcc 3.2.2, 3.2-7-rh, and 2.95.3.

Daniel J says that this is a gcc bug and has been fixed in current gcc:
