[PATCH] PR gdb/14077: Dynamic type of references cannot be accessed
- From: André Pönitz <andre dot poenitz at mathematik dot tu-chemnitz dot de>

- Subject: [PATCH] PR gdb/14077: Dynamic type of references cannot be accessed
This patch fixes http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14077
for me.
It allows gdb to use dynamic_type on gdb.Value objects that represent
C++ references, similar to what already works with pointers.
