Question on Debugging - Gpc

21 Jan 1998


      Hi All,
        I was debugging the following linked list program with a record under gdb, but
when I tried to see what one of the members of the record was, I get "void,
void, void." Do any of you know what's wrong?
Source File of Program:
program Test;
  type
    pointer  = ^cell;
    string10 = packed array[1..10] of char;
    cell     = 
      record 
        word : string10;
        next : pointer;
      end;   
var ptr:pointer;
  begin
     new(ptr);
     ptr^.word := "Hello";
     writeln(ptr^.word);
  end.
Futile debugging attempt under gdb:
(gdb) run
Starting program: c:/emacs/my/pointers/test
Breakpoint 1, program_Test () at test.pas:14
14           writeln(ptr^.word);
(gdb) print *Ptr
$1 = {Word = {void, void, void, void, void, void, void, void, void, void,
    void}, Next = 0x0}
(gdb) print Ptr->Word
$2 = {void, void, void, void, void, void, void, void, void, void, void}
(gdb)
The program works fine, writing out "Hello"
