Bug ID: 18352
Summary: can't convert integer Value to float
Product: gdb
Version: unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: python
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: tromey at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---

python print int(gdb.Value(0)) works, and
python print float(gdb.Value(0.0)) works, but
python print float(gdb.Value(0)) does not work.
It seems like it should.

Allow more Python scalar conversions

PR python/18352 points out that the gdb Python code can't convert an
integer-valued gdb.Value to a Python float. While writing the test I
noticed that, similarly, converting integer gdb.Values to float does
not work. However, all of these cases seem reasonable.
