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