Special case NULL when using printf's %s format
This changes the printf command's %s and %ls formats to special-case NULL, and print "(null)" for these. This is PR cli/14977. This behavior seems a bit friendlier; I was undecided on whether other invalid pointers should be handled specially somehow, so for the time being I've left those out. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-03-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR cli/14977: * printcmd.c (printf_c_string, printf_wide_c_string): Special case for NULL. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog 2018-03-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR cli/14977: * ax.c (ax_printf): Special case for NULL. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2018-03-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR cli/14977: * gdb.base/printcmds.exp (test_printf): Add printf test of %s with a null pointer. * gdb.base/wchar.exp: Likewise.
