How to set a double variable with integer value using GDB?

Question

I have a variable with type double and I want to set it with a integer value.

For example:

double x;

In GDB, when I do :

set x = 14
p x
$1 = 14 //ok, looks right
x/xg &x
0x7fffffffec28: 0x402c000000000000 //oh no, this is a double representation and I want integer!

What I want is to x have an integer value x = 0xe instead of a double representation even if the variable is a double.

Thanks in advance!

You can cast the type of the memory location:

p {int}&x=10
$4 = 10
x/xg &x
0x7f2c40 <x>:   0x000000000000000a
