>Description:
When there is a long enum type defined (or simple enum with big starting value) GDB enumarates its values to 127 and the next value is -128 but all enums should be of ubyte4 type.
For example:
enum my_enum_e {
FIRST_VALUE=126,
SECOND_VALUE,
THIRD_VALUE};
typedef enum my_enum_e my_enum_t;
----------------
(gdb) ptype my_enum_t
type = enum my_enum_e {FIRST_VALUE = 126, SECOND_VALUE,
THIRD_VALUE = -128}
In fact in program THRID_VALUE's value is 128.

Should be very easy. See the bug description.
