Re: GDB and typedefs

[Roland McGrath <roland at redhat dot com>]

A tangential problem but one related at least morally is C++ superclasses.
I have:

	class foo : public std::map<blah, blah> { ... };

When a variable has type std::map<blah, blah>, I get nice pretty printing.
But for a variable of type foo, I get traditional printing with "members of
std::map<blah, blah>" at the front.

I imagine I could coax it with a manual pointer cast or something, though
I think I've had some trouble with template class names.  But it seems
natural that when it knows to say "members of foobar: ..." and it would
know something fancy to say for "foobar", that it would use the fanciness
for "member of foobar: ..." too.


Thanks,
Roland
