Bug ID: 16107
Summary: add a feature to explain the "meaning" of an
expression
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: tromey at redhat dot com
Even a simple C++ expression can hide a lot of underlying
machinery. For example "a + b" could involve conversions,
constructors, destructors, overload resolution, and template
deduction.
It would be nice to have a command to explain what decisions
gdb made. It could at least show which functions are called
by a given expression. Perhaps it could also show some
details of overloading and deduction decisions.
