>Description:
GDB doesn't know about the C++ concept of 'namespace scope': if you're within a function defined in a namespace, it doesn't search for names defined in that namespace.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following file:
namespace C
{
int x = 1;
void foo()
{
x;
}
}
int main ()
{
C::foo();
return 0;
}
Then run GDB on it, and do the following:
(gdb) b 'C::foo'
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048493: file scope.cc, line 7.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /cartan/carlton/sync/gdb-backup/namespace/prs/a.out
Breakpoint 1, C::foo() () at scope.cc:7
7 }
(gdb) p x
No symbol "x" in current context.
>Fix:
It works on carlton_dictionary_branch. :-)
