(This +is the default for recent versions of GCC on most platforms.) +Specifically, if you have a class "Inner" defined within a class or +namespace "Outer", then GDB realizes that the class's name is +"Outer::Inner", not simply "Inner". This should greatly reduce the +frequency of complaints about not finding RTTI symbols. In addition, +if you are stopped at inside of a function defined within a namespace, +GDB modifies its name lookup accordingly. + * New native configurations NetBSD/amd64 x86_64-*-netbsd* |
