+* C++ Improvements:
+
+ ** GDB now puts template parameters in scope when debugging in an
+ instantiation. For example, if you have:
+
+ template<int X> int func (void) { return X; }
+
+ then if you step into func<5>, "print X" will show "5". This
+ feature requires proper debuginfo support from the compiler; it
+ was added to GCC 4.5.
+
* GDB now has some support for using labels in the program's source in
linespecs. For instance, you can use "advance label" to continue
execution to a label.
