It is worried that we can't verify the type width change like this.
Personally, I don't see the point GDB-switch-to-C++ block the changes,
either from your patch or from Fedora GDB's patches, although I agree
that it is easier to do sanity check in C++.

If it is practical to turn on -Wconversion and people here agree to do
so, we can do it first to pave the way for your patch, and convince
people your patch is safe enough.  Last time I tried turning
-Wconversion on, it causes a huge number of warnings. :-/
