When evaluating comparison expressions, the "usual arithmetic
conversions" mandated by C standard (ISO/IEC 9899 #6.3.1.8) are NOT done.
In the cases below note that GDB returns the mathematically correct
result, but this is not conforming to C standard and to GDB
documentation that says:
"The usual way to examine data in your program is with the `print'
command (abbreviated `p'), or its synonym `inspect'. It evaluates and
prints the value of an expression of the language your program is
written in"
