<p>I want to print the full length of a C-string in GDB.  By default it's being abbreviated, how do I force GDB to print the whole string?</p>

```
```
set print elements 0
```
```
From the GDB manual
:
```
set print elements
```
```
number-of-elements
```
Set a limit on how many elements of an array GDB will print. If GDB is printing a large array, it stops printing after it has printed the number of elements set by the
```
set print elements
```
command. This limit also applies to the display of strings. When GDB starts, this limit is set to 200.
Setting
number-of-elements
to zero means that the printing is unlimited
.
