Question regarding GDB/GUD/Speedbar as part of Gnu Emacs

Hi,

Is there any way to have GUD/GDB/Speedbar show char arrays, e.g. char
mystring [10] in the same way as a char* - and not as separate leaves?

I have a number of character strings (in structs) which sometimes are up to
1024 bytes in length, and displaying them as Watch expression (in Speedbar)
as a vertical list of chars is somewhat inconveniate.

Preferrable if I can still get other arrays, e.g. int myints [10], to still
be displayed as a vertical list.

I've Googled for a while but can't find the best approach to accomplishing
this.

Regards,

Erik Bleckhorns

In GUD buffer:

 C-u C-c C-w
 
In minibuffer:

Name of variable: (char*)mystring

(no spaces)
