Debugging with GDB
GDB allows you to express the constants of C and C++ in the following ways:
0' (i.e. zero), and hexadecimal constants by
a leading `0x' or `0X'. Constants may also end with a letter
`l', specifying that the constant should be treated as a
long value.
e[[+]|-]nnn', where nnn is another
sequence of digits. The `+' is optional for positive exponents.
A floating-point constant may also end with a letter `f' or
`F', specifying that the constant should be treated as being of
the float (as opposed to the default double) type; or with
a letter `l' or `L', which specifies a long double
constant.
'), or a number---the ordinal value of the corresponding character
(usually its ASCII value). Within quotes, the single character may
be represented by a letter or by escape sequences, which are of
the form `\nnn', where nnn is the octal representation
of the character's ordinal value; or of the form `\x', where
`x' is a predefined special character---for example,
`\n' for newline.
"). Any valid character constant (as described
above) may appear. Double quotes within the string must be preceded by
a backslash, so for instance `"a\"b'c"' is a string of five
characters.
&'.
{'
and `}'; for example, `{1,2,3}' is a three-element array of
integers, `{{1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}}' is a three-by-two array,
and `{&"hi", &"there", &"fred"}' is a three-element array of pointers.
