>Description:
GDB infinitely recurses when printing static member instances of a derived class within the derived class' base class template while using the Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP).
The infinite recursion printing in GDB as been seen through just simple printing as shown in the How-To-Repeat section, and also when doing a "where" command as one of my co-workers as pointed out. It has also been seen when using a GUI such as ddd with fly-over printing. Given the infinite looping behavior it makes difficult debugging with GDB while using the CRTP design pattern.
>How-To-Repeat:
g++ -g3 test.C
gdb a.out
break test.C:62
run
print b
(Observe the infinite recursion).
