Andrew,
I have a patch that removes all the language-specific numeric formatting.
It does indeed clean things up a good deal. There were only three
uses of language-specific numeric printing: for scm-lang.c, m2-lang.c, and
p-lang.c. You indicated that the first two were obsolescent and therefore
irrelevant. What's the story with Pascal?
It turns out [unfortunatly off list discussion] that for pascal there's
an outstanding request to disable this feature anyway!
For the feature to ``work'', GDB must be capable of both correctly
printing, and correctly parsing the natural language values and for
Pascal that's not possible ($<hex> clashes with $<register>).
We can go ahead with this change,
Andrew
