Description Francis Giraldeau CLA 2009-04-08 11:00:15 EDT 
When debugging a C program and trying to view the values of structure content, I get this error : 

    Target request failed: A syntax error in expression, near `'.

While selecting one sub-element, I get the following error

    Target request failed: A syntax error in expression, near `).regexp'.

I tried to reproduce the problem with a test program and the structure in error alone, but it doesn't work. The problem can be reproduced by compiling Augeas http://augeas.net on Linux. 

 git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/augeas.git
 cd augeas
 ./bootstrap.sh
 ./configure

Then import the project into Eclipse CDT, and set this debug configuration : 

New C/C++ Local Application 
Project : augeas
C/C++ Application : src/.libs/augtool
Argument: ls /files/etc/hosts
Environment: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/directory/to/augeas/src/.libs/

Build, run and break on assignment or declaration of value struct, for example in syntax.c in compile_exp and it will trigger the error.

can you enable verbose console and post gdb commands from console here
