As for void * registers, we always print

(top-gdb) maint print register-groups
 Name         Nr  Rel Offset    Size  Type            Groups
 eax           0    0      0       4 int             general,all,save,restore
 ecx           1    1      4       4 int             general,all,save,restore
 edx           2    2      8       4 int             general,all,save,restore
