Type definitions in the self-description can build up composite types
from basic building blocks, but can not define fundamental types. Instead,
standard identifiers are provided by <span class="sc">gdb</span> for the fundamental
types. The currently supported types are:
<dl>
<dt><code>int8</code><dt><code>int16</code><dt><code>int32</code><dt><code>int64</code><dt><code>int128</code><dd>Signed integer types holding the specified number of bits.
<br><dt><code>uint8</code><dt><code>uint16</code><dt><code>uint32</code><dt><code>uint64</code><dt><code>uint128</code><dd>Unsigned integer types holding the specified number of bits.
<br><dt><code>code_ptr</code><dt><code>data_ptr</code><dd>Pointers to unspecified code and data. The program counter and
any dedicated return address register may be marked as code
pointers; printing a code pointer converts it into a symbolic
address. The stack pointer and any dedicated address registers
may be marked as data pointers.
<br><dt><code>ieee_single</code><dd>Single precision IEEE floating point.
<br><dt><code>ieee_double</code><dd>Double precision IEEE floating point.
<br><dt><code>arm_fpa_ext</code><dd>The 12-byte extended precision format used by ARM FPA registers.
<br><dt><code>i387_ext</code><dd>The 10-byte extended precision format used by x87 registers.
<br><dt><code>i386_eflags</code><dd>32bit <span class="sc">eflags</span> register used by x86.
<br><dt><code>i386_mxcsr</code><dd>32bit <span class="sc">mxcsr</span> register used by x86.
