closing this rather old issue. sorry for not addressing this earlier.
Please could you recheck with the recent 14.04 LTS or 14.10 releases and
reopen the issue if the problem persists?

Title:
  gdb crashes on whatis command

Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdb

  Ubuntu 8.10
  gdb 6.8-3ubuntu2

  I'm trying to do some debugging, using gdb through Eclipse.  It all works fine until it hits a breakpoint in a particular function.  As part of updating the local variables Eclipse issues this command:
    whatis (int &)x

  At that point gdb dies with a SIGABRT.

  I managed to download debugging symbols for gdb and attach gdb to a
  running gdb, the backtrace is attached.
