Package: gdb
Version: 5.0.cvs20011007-2
Severity: normal
GDB can't display UTF-8 strings, regardless of "sevenbit-strings", due to
undocumented behavior:
utils.c: printchar():
if (c < 0x20 || /* Low control chars */
(c >= 0x7F && c < 0xA0) || /* DEL, High controls */
(sevenbit_strings && c >= 0x80))
"sevenbit-strings" is documented as printing 8-bit characters as \xxx;
however, it's ignored for 0x80 through 0x9F, so UTF-8 strings get mangled.
At least change that to "c == 0x7F"; if some oddball terminals think
0x80 through 0x9F are control characters (I've never seen any that do),
add a different option for that.

This is a pretty old bug report; GDB nowadays should be able to handle
UTF-8 strings.
Closing.
