Sample program showing incorrect debug information
With llvm-gcc checked out at r60958, gdb gives the wrong types to variables.
The 2.4 release did not have this problem (although it did have a different
problem with arrays).
$ ~/opensource/llvm-gcc/trunk/install/bin/llvm-gcc -g -o bad_types bad_types.c
$ gdb bad_types

(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400438: file bad_types.c, line 2.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/jyasskin/tmp/bad_types
Breakpoint 1, main () at bad_types.c:2
2 char* ptr = "Hello";
(gdb) n
3 int i = 2;
(gdb) n
4 int arr[] = {1,2,3,4};
(gdb) n
5 }
(gdb) p ptr
$1 = (void *) 0x400570
(gdb) p i
$2 = {2, 1, 2, 3}
(gdb) p arr
$3 = {1, 2, 3, 4}
(gdb)
If 'i' is the last variable, it correctly gets printed as an int rather than an
array. The somewhat annoying workaround is to cast things to the right types
before printing them.
