Hello, The subject says it all. Before the patch, you could do: (gdb) ptype type_name But if you wanted to get the type of one field inside that type, you would hit a limitation: (gdb) ptype circle.pos Invalid attempt to select from type: "circle.pos". The attached patch enhances the debugger to able to do the above. 2008-01-04 Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com> * ada-exp.y (chop_separator): New function. (write_selectors): Rewrite to re-use chop_separator. (ada_nget_field_index, get_symbol_field_type): New functions. (write_var_or_type): Add support for "ptype TYPENAME.FIELD" expressions. As usual when I can, I wrote a testcase: 2008-01-04 Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com> * gdb.ada/ptype_field/pck.ads, gdb.ada/ptype_field/pck.adb, gdb.ada/ptype_field/foo.adb: New files. * gdb.ada/ptype_field.exp: New testcase. All tested on x86-linux. Note that I used the multi_line function again! Very useful :) Checked in. -- Joel
