How to print a null-terminated string with newlines without showing backslash escapes in gdb?

Update: Why not just use the gdb printf command?

(gdb) printf "%s", x
asd
qwe
...
(gdb)

Old answer: From within the debugger you can execute commands. Just call printf

(gdb) call printf("%s", x)
asd
qwe
...
(gdb)

Use the string specifier:

print /s x
