gdb returns :

$1 = (struct <opaque> *) some addr


when trying to print out  a complex structurei or C++ class.  This
does not happen all of the time, however.  I am usually able to fix the 
problem by explicit typecasting, 

(gdb) p (struct name *) var.



Am I doing something wrong or is this how gdb is supposed to work?
I can send you a specific example if that helps.

Thanks,

John Casey
