GDB MI - differences in -var-create output

["Eran Ifrah" <eran dot ifrah at gmail dot com>]

Hi List,
This is my first post here, so I hope that this is the correct place
to ask this.

I have developed a GDB plugin for my IDE using the GDB Machine Interface.

I have tested the plugin under Linux and Windows and it seems to
function very good. However, under Mac OSX (10.5.2) (it works well,
but only after I tweaked my GDB MI output parser a bit) the GDB MI
output is a bit difference than the other OSs, for example, running
this command:

-var-create - * <expression>
under Linux & Windows, provides the same output like this:
^done,name="var2",numchild="1",value="{...}",type="orxAABOX"

However, under Mac I get this:
^done,name="var2",numchild="1",type="orxAABOX"

Note the missing 'value={...}' part.

another difference, is in the -data-read-memory command output, On
Windows & Linux, I get this:

...{addr="0x003d3e28",data=["0x00","0xab","0xab","0xab"],ascii="xxxx"}...

But On Mac:
...{addr="0x003d3e28",data={"0x00","0xab","0xab","0xab"},ascii="xxxx"}...

Note the change between square brackets & curly brackets just after
the 'data=' part.

My question is this: is this a bug or by design, cause I hate leaving
parts of my code under #if __MAC__ / #endif
