            Bug ID: 19973
           Summary: gdb prints sizeof a char literal is 1 when the
                    language is C
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.10.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sadiq at sadiqpk dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

In C language, the size of a char literal is the size of an int. But in gdb it
prints as 1, which is the size of a char literal in c++.

(gdb) set language c
(gdb) show language
The current source language is "c".
(gdb) p sizeof ('a')
$1 = 1
(gdb) p sizeof ((int) 'a')
$2 = 4
(gdb) p sizeof ('a') == sizeof (5)
$3 = 0
(gdb) p sizeof ((int) 'a') == sizeof (5)
$4 = 1
(gdb)
