Last time this came up, we added the feature to gdb. You have to enable
it, though. Use "set check type off".
I'd been mildly annoyed by this behaviour, but not so much as to look
for a solution and I can certainly see why gdb is doing what it's doing.
I certainly don't consider this something that should stand in the way
of moving forward.
ISTM that one liner belongs in GCC's .gdbinit. Until then, I'm adding
it to my own :-)
