Re: gdb support for unnamed union/structure fields

[Mathew Spencer <mvyacc1029 at yahoo dot com>]

Yes, the code was compiled with "-g" option, but when
I dump foo structure in gdb, gdb only prints values of
"int a; int d", but not "int b; int c" which happen to
be inside unnamed structure.

I realize that this is a gcc-help forum, the reason I
posted here is to find out if any specific compile
option is to be used to have gdb display unnamed
unions/structure fields.

If there is a gdb discussion forum, appreciate if you
could give me a pointer.

thx in advance
