Type-specific formats

Integer	Character	Letter format: 'a'
	Signed	Signed integer format: -123
	Unsigned	Unsigned integer format: 4294967173
	Octal	Octal format: 0177
	Hex	Hex format: 0x7f
Float	Decimal	"f" format
	Scientific	"e" format
	Hex	Hex format: 0x7f
Complex	Decimal	Real and imaginary parts of the number in "f" format.
	Scientific	Real and imaginary parts of the number in "e" format.
	Hex	Displays the real and imaginary parts of the number in hex format.
Class, Struct, or Union	Flatten	Reveals the members, horizontally.
	More detail	Reveals the members, vertically.
	Less detail	Hides the members.
Class	Show self	Runs the object's xcdb() member function (if any). See "Self-displaying C++ objects" on page 135.
Array	More detail	Reveals array elements.
	Less detail	Hides array elements.
	String	Displays an array of characters as a null-terminated string: "abc"
	Select subrange	Selects a subrange of the array for display. A prompt asks for the subscripts of the elements you wish to see. See "Array formatting" on page 130.
Pointer	Less detail	Hides the pointed-to object.
	Hex	The pointer in hex format.
	String	A pointer to character as a null-terminated string.
	Array	At pointer to X as an array of X.
	Select subrange	A selected subrange of the pointed-to array. A prompt asks for the elements you want to see.
	Cast	Changes (casts) the base type of the pointed-to object. A list of struct, union, and typedef names prompts to select a new base type. Subsequent formatting of the pointed-to objects treats them as if they are of the type you select.
	Downcast	Converts a C++ pointer to abstract base class into a pointer to most derived class by inspecting the pointed-to object's virtual function table pointer.
	Less detail	Hides the pointed-to object, for example:
		class X { ... }; // base class class Y : public X { ... }; // derived class f() { X x; g(&x); // pass a 'pointer-to-X' Y y; g(&y); // pass a 'pointer-to-Y' } g(X *p) { // at run time 'p' could be either // 'pointer-to-X' // or 'pointer-to-Y' // ... // click on 'p' and select 'Downcast' // to reveal the actual type }
