Displaying structure members if only structure address is available

Is your argument really of type (struct) "soap" or actually of type
"soap *". If it is the latter, GDB is behaving as expected. I don't
think there is any command in GDB that allows you to see the value
of all arguments with pointers automatically dereferenced... So as
far as I know, you'll have to dereference it manually.
