I know that a variable can be print in gdb by
"print var".

But how to print a string??? 

  "print" will display a string, if you're printing a variable of type "char
*", or a std::string.

  Or you can use "x" (examine) with the "/s" modifier if you just have a
memory address.

Or, if your string is to long, or x/s is too ugly:

printf "%s\n", mystring
