[Bug c++/19068] gdb cannot handle operator= if both const access (as rhs) and non-const (lhs) methods defined

--- Comment #2 from Richard Sharman <richard_sharman at mitel dot com> ---
If a class is defined with a single operator[] method,
then gdb can invoke this method with the normal x[i] syntax.

If, however,  there are separate const "rhs" and non-const "lhs" 
methods defined,  then trying to print or assign using x[i] syntax
produces the message "Could not find operator[].".

See example t.c.  When compiled as is (SEPARATE_SUB_METHODS defined)
there are methods 
        const T& operator[](const int index) const 
and
        T& operator[](const int index) {

Running gdb shows:

(gdb) b 53
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40076a: file t.cc, line 53.
(gdb) r
(gdb) p x
$1 = {storage = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100}}
(gdb) p x[3]
Could not find operator[].

When SEPARATE_SUB_METHODS is undefined there is only one method
        T& operator[](const int index)  {
and gdb works fine with this:

(gdb) b 53
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40076a: file t2.cc, line 53.
(gdb) r

$1 = {storage = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100}}
