With test-case gdb.base/printcmds.exp, I run into:
...
(gdb) print teststring2^M
$563 = (charptr) "more contents"^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/printcmds.exp: print teststring2
...
The corresponding test is:
...
gdb_test "print teststring2" " = (charptr) \"more contents\""
...
Fix the FAIL by adding the missing quoting for the parentheses around charptr.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
