Most of what you see to support C++ in GDB are hacks, of course, from overload resolution to you name it. :( -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To explain to others who didn't follow that thread: GDB currently does something amazingly stupid (and has since i wrote it) to find the RTTI type. There were no other good options at the type. What it does is find the vtable for the object, find the symbol that represents the vtable, demangle it, , chops off "vtable for", and tries to find the symbol for the string that results.
