            Bug ID: 18603
           Summary: print L'a'  triggers inadequate error message: "No
                    type named wchar_t."
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.7
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: exp
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: joehtg at joehtg dot co.at
  Target Milestone: ---

print wide literal, e.g. print L'a', causes error message
No type named wchar_t.
when no executable file is loaded or when the executable does not have wchar_t
variables. 
gdb should get sizeof(wchar_t) from target-wide-charset
This would be useful for Debugging of programs using ICU or OCI (in UTF-16
mode) under Linux.
I'd like to use the command
print (wchar_t*)utext
for UChar * utext
if the program does not use native 32-bit wchar_t
