},

 

meat = 0x54 "Pork"

 

}

set print pretty off

Cause GDB to print structures in a compact

 

format, like this:

 

$1 = {next = 0x0, flags = {sweet = 1,

 

sour = 1}, \

 

meat = 0x54 "Pork"}

 

This is the default format.

show print pretty

Show which format GDB is using to print

 

structures.

set print sevenbit-strings

Print using only seven-bit characters; if this

on

option is set, GDB displays any eight-bit

 

characters (in strings or character values) using

 

the notation \nnn. This setting is best if you are

 

working in English (ASCII) and you use the

 

high-order bit of characters as a marker or “meta”

 

bit.

set print sevenbit-strings

Print full eight-bit characters. This allows the use

off

of more international character sets, and is the

 

default.

show print sevenbit-strings

Show whether or not GDB is printing only

 

seven-bit characters.

set print union on

Tell GDB to print unions which are contained in

 

structures. This is the default setting.

set print union off

Tell GDB not to print unions which are contained

 

in structures.

show print union

Ask GDB whether or not it will print unions

 

which are contained in structures.

 

For example, given the declarations

 

typedef enum {Tree, Bug} Species;

 

typedef enum {Big_tree, Acorn, Seedling}

 

Tree_forms;

 

typedef enum {Caterpillar, Cocoon,

 

Butterfly}

 

Bug_forms;

 

struct thing {

 

Species it;

 

union {

 

Tree_forms tree;

 

Bug_forms bug;
