Description Jan Kratochvil 2010-05-24 19:53:15 UTC

GCC counterpart:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42801#c3

# Unfortunately, gdb prints 0 instead of 24 in the second case.

I think it is probably purely a gcc bug now.
The gdb bits work if the source is compiled -O1.
With -O0 I believe the debuginfo is somewhat incorrect
until "a" is "really" in scope.

This works now.

(gdb) ptype a
type = char [5]
