I tried for a few hours but was unable to come up with a custom
formatter that will display a simple character string. I read thru the
documentation a number of times and found it to be general and vague.
Some times they use ( ), sometimes { }, sometimes % % and sometimes [
] and it appears that it doesn't matter as long as they are paired
correctly but I'm not sure because it doesn't clarify that. There are
just a couple of examples and they mostly deal with fields of a
structure. It messing with the existing custom format from one of
the structures I was able to generally see how it works. However, I
was never able to get close to formatting a string. If it was some
type of a printf format statement it would be easy to format but it
doesn't appear to be so.
Is there any "real" documentation for the custom formats that would
define the expression syntax and the list of possibilities for formats?
The documentation says to consult the release notes for more
information. The release notes contains the exact same document which
also says to consult the release notes for more information.
I tried stg = {(char *) ($VAR)} and it show the something like stg =
0xbffff790 which I guess is the address of my string.

I'm not suggesting that it's an ideal solution, but it seems it would
work better than going to the console at every step in debugging ...

Have you looked into a custom formatter?
Are you actually suggesting we use a custom formatter to display a
simple character string in the debugger? I understand the expression
would be pretty simple in this case, but still -- this is overkill.
