I found that gdb-7.6 also prints "{...}" for unnamed struct/union.
(gdb) ptype struct page
type = struct page {
unsigned long flags;
struct address_space *mapping;
struct {
union {...};
union {...};
};
...
And crash-7.x (gdb-7.6.patch) had the following patch to print the details
of unnamed struct/union.
--- gdb-7.6/gdb/c-typeprint.c.orig
+++ gdb-7.6/gdb/c-typeprint.c
@@ -1097,7 +1097,8 @@ c_type_print_base (struct type *type, st

+ stream, strlen(TYPE_FIELD_NAME (type, i)) ?
+ show - 1 : show, level + 4,
&local_flags);
if (!field_is_static (&TYPE_FIELD (type, i))
&& TYPE_FIELD_PACKED (type, i))
But gdb-10.2.patch does not have it, and prints "{...}" again.
Good findings, Kazu.
So I will post the following patch later to do the same thing in gdb-10.2.

c_print_type_1 (type->field (i).type (),

This looks good, it can keep the same behavior as gdb-7.6.
Thanks.
