[Converted from Gnats 2408]

In C `(void(**)())EXPR' type cast expression means the same as
`(void(*(*))())EXPR'.

(gdb) sho lang
The current source language is "auto; currently c".

With this setting, expecting that `gdb' also processes both of these
expressions the same way.  Instead:

(gdb) p*(void(**)())$addr
A syntax error in expression, near `*)())$addr'.

Release:
6.3, 6.4, 6.6, 6.7.1

Environment:
Hardly relevant.  Observed in x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, i686-pc-linux-gnu.

How-To-Repeat:
p*(void(**)())$addr
