yes, objdump -dSC shows there:

    std::map<int, std::string> m;
  400bab:       48 8d 45 b0             lea    -0x50(%rbp),%rax
  400baf:       48 89 c7                mov    %rax,%rdi
  400bb2:       e8 43 00 00 00          callq  400bfa <std::map<int, std::string, std::less<int>, std::allocator<std::pair<int const, std::string> > >::~map()>
  400bb7:       89 d8                   mov    %ebx,%eax

Maybe GCC could produce there DW_LNS_negate_stmt so that the variable
declaration line is still shown in backtraces (if the destructor crashes) but
it is skipped over during stepping/nexting; but GDB currently would not show
such line in backtraces, GCC currently does not produce DW_LNS_negate_stmt
anyway.
