gdb-7.2 c++ break points

[Harald Koenig]

Hi,

gdb-7.2 seems to have some trouble with c++ symbol completion for setting break 
points
which did not show up in gdb-7.1 and earlier (built myself with gcc-4.3.2 on 
opensuse 11.1 64bit):



a) for the small hello-world program below, when I try to set a bp to "h1" by 
typing

   b 'h1<TAB>

sometimes gdb immediately completes to 'h1()' -- no other signatures are shown.
this happend several times (new gdb processes) when testing this bug sample,
but right now it's correctly working again as expected:

    (gdb) b 'h1<TAB>
    h1         h1()       h1(char*)  h1(int)    
    (gdb) b 'h1


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>

void h1()
{
  std::cout << "Hello\n";
}

void h1(int i)
{
  std::cout << "Hello " << i << "\n";
}

void h1(char *s)
{
  std::cout << "Hello " << s << "\n";
}

int main()
{
  h1();
  h1(1);
  h1("2");
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



b) from a colleague who first pointed at the gdb07.2 problems using the 
attached "gdb.bug-cpp":
"Junk at end of arguments"


Using gcc-4.4.3


> gdb ./gdb-bug

-

First try:
use autocompletion, which gives an extra space after closing hyphen.

Second try:
use history and remove extra space.
