<p>Type definitions in the self-description can build up composite types
from basic building blocks, but can not define fundamental types. Instead,
standard identifiers are provided by <small>GDB</small> for the fundamental
types. The currently supported types are:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>int8</code></dt>
<dt><code>int16</code></dt>
<dt><code>int32</code></dt>
<dt><code>int64</code></dt>
<dt><code>int128</code></dt>
<dd><p>Signed integer types holding the specified number of bits.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>uint8</code></dt>
<dt><code>uint16</code></dt>
<dt><code>uint32</code></dt>
<dt><code>uint64</code></dt>
<dt><code>uint128</code></dt>
<dd><p>Unsigned integer types holding the specified number of bits.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>code_ptr</code></dt>
<dt><code>data_ptr</code></dt>
<dd><p>Pointers to unspecified code and data. The program counter and
any dedicated return address register may be marked as code
pointers; printing a code pointer converts it into a symbolic
address. The stack pointer and any dedicated address registers
may be marked as data pointers.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>ieee_single</code></dt>
<dd><p>Single precision IEEE floating point.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>ieee_double</code></dt>
<dd><p>Double precision IEEE floating point.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>arm_fpa_ext</code></dt>
<dd><p>The 12-byte extended precision format used by ARM FPA registers.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>i387_ext</code></dt>
<dd><p>The 10-byte extended precision format used by x87 registers.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>i386_eflags</code></dt>
<dd><p>32bit <small>EFLAGS</small> register used by x86.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>i386_mxcsr</code></dt>
<dd><p>32bit <small>MXCSR</small> register used by x86.
