How to view a pointer like an array in GDB?

Suppose defined: int a[100] Type print a then gdb will automatically display it as an array:1, 2, 3, 4.... However, if a is passed to a function as a parameter, then gdb will treat it as a normal int pointer, type print a will display:(int *)0x7fffffffdaa0. What should I do if I want to view a as an array?
