detailed description, instead of just the name of
the type.
For example, for this variable declaration:
struct complex {double real; double
imag;} v;
the two commands give this output:
((gdb)) whatis v
type = struct complex
((gdb)) ptype v
type = struct complex {
double real;
double imag;
}
As with whatis, using ptype without an
argument refers to the type of $, the last value
in the value history.
info types regexp, info
types
Print a brief description of all types whose names
match regexp (or all types in your program, if
you supply no argument). Each complete
typename is matched as though it were a
complete line; thus, 'i type value' gives
information on all types in your program whose
names include the string value, but 'i type
^value$' gives information only on types whose
complete name is value.
This command differs from ptype in two ways:
first, like whatis, it does not print a detailed
description; second, it lists all source files where
a type is defined.
info source
Show the name of the current source file―that
is, the source file for the function containing the
current point of execution―and the language it
was written in.
info sources
Print the names of all source files in your
program for which there is debugging
information, organized into two lists: files whose
symbols have already been read, and files whose
symbols will be read when needed.
info functions
Print the names and data types of all defined
functions.
