  Hi Keith,

  Thanks a lot for this review.

  Yes, I also noticed this, but too late.
I checked and the msvcvrt DLL function isprint does not return 1 for
tabulation...
So the fix is only needed for the wide char version.

  Whoops, I hadn't noticed that this was always capitalized like that...

  Yes, I must confess that I broke more coding style rules
than I usually do here, sorry about that...

It does fix 2 failures inside printcmds.exp

288-p ctable1[9]
289:$50 = 9 '\t'
290-(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p ctable1[9]
291-p ctable1[10]
292-$51 = 10 '\n'
--
1869-$560 = (unsigned char *) <ctable1+1> "\001\002\003\004\005\006\a\b"...
1870-(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p &ctable1[1]
1871-p &ctable1[1*8]
1872:$561 = (unsigned char *) <ctable1+8> "\b\t\n\v\f\r\016\017"...
1873-(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: p &ctable1[1*8]
1874-p &ctable1[2*8]
1875-$562 = (unsigned char *) <ctable1+16>
"\020\021\022\023\024\025\026\027"...

Is this enough?

  Here is a new patch version.
To avoid the very complicated preprocessor checks that decides if we
use wide chars inside gdb_wchar.h, I added a new macro
HAVE_MINGW_GDB_ISWPRINT.
  While the idea seems good to me, I am unsure about the choice
of this macro name, are there similar examples already inside the code?

ChangeLog entry:

2013-10-01  Pierre Muller <muller@sourceware.org>

 	Fix display of tabulation character for MinGW hosts.
 	* gdb_wchar.h (gdb_iswprint): Declare as external function
 	if __MINGW32__ macro is set.
	(HAVE_MINGW_GDB_ISWPRINT): New macro, declared only for
 	MinGW hosts using wide characters.
 	* mingw-hdep.c (gdb_iswprint): New function.
	Implemented only if HAVE_MINGW_GDB_ISWPRINT macro is defined.
