michael@0 1 # Test printing roots that refer to NULL pointers.

michael@0 3 # Since mozilla.prettyprinters.Pointer declines to create pretty-printers
michael@0 4 # for null pointers, GDB built-in printing code ends up handling them. But
michael@0 5 # as of 2012-11, GDB suppresses printing pointers in replacement values:
michael@0 6 # see: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00055.html
michael@0 7 #
michael@0 8 # Thus, if the pretty-printer for JS::Rooted simply returns the referent as
michael@0 9 # a replacement value (which seems reasonable enough, if you want the
michael@0 10 # pretty-printer to be completely transparent), and the referent is a null
michael@0 11 # pointer, it prints as nothing at all.
michael@0 12 #
michael@0 13 # This test ensures that the JS::Rooted pretty-printer doesn't make that
michael@0 14 # mistake.
