gdb ChangeLog
* gdbtypes.h (builtin_type): Add builtin_char16 and builtin_char32
fields.
* gdbtypes.c (gdbtypes_post_init): Set builtin_char16 and
builtin_char32 fields.
* printcmd.c (decode_format): Set char size to '\0'
for strings unless explicit size is given.
(print_formatted): Correct calculation of NEXT_ADDRESS
for 16 or 32 bit strings.
(do_examine): Do not force byte size for strings.
Use builtin_char16 and builtin_char32 types to display
16 or 32 bit-wide strings.
(x_command): Set LAST_SIZE to 'b' for string type.
gdb/doc ChangeLog
* gdb.texinfo (Examining memory): Update for
change in string display with explicit size.
gdb/testsuite ChangeLog
* gdb.base/charset.c (Strin16, String32): New variables.
* gdb.base/charset.exp (gdb_test): Test correct display
of 16 or 32 bit strings.
