# This test ensures that with "set print object on", -var-create will
# return "<optimized out>" for an optimized out pointer to structure,
# rather than attempting to dereference the pointer to determine its
# actual type (instead of its declared type).  We want to test that GDB
# can display such a pointer without throwing an error, while also
# ensuring that any attempt to dereference the pointer *will* throw an
# error.
