Bug ID: 17098
Summary: In program using unique_ptr, identifier 'tuple' cannot
be used (problem with variadic templates?)
Product: gdb
Version: unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: Marc.van-Leeuwen at math dot univ-poitiers.fr
Created attachment 7662

preprocessed input from sample program, file mini.ii
When running gdb on a program using an instance of the unique_ptr class
template, the identifier 'tuple' can no longer be accessed in any way, as
otherwise valid expressions now give a syntax error. A minimal example:
mini.cpp:
#include <memory>
int main()
{
std::unique_ptr<int> p;
}
compile this with gcc (version 4.8.1) using the command
g++ -std=c++11 -ggdb -o mini mini.cpp
now run gdb and ask to print the (nonexistent) variable 'tuple'
$ gdb mini

(gdb) p tuple
A syntax error in expression, near `'.
(gdb)
Whereas in a program not using any unique_ptr (for instance the above program
after removing the unique statement in 'main') one would correctly get
(gdb) p tuple
No symbol "tuple" in current context.
It seems that 'tuple' has changed its syntax category for gdb, making any
access to variables/fields called 'tuple' impossible. I stumbled on this when
debugging a program that actually used a field of that name, but the bug does
not appear to depend on that circumstance.
Looking and the (attached) preprocessed input, it seems that the problem might
be that 'tuple' is defined as a variadic template class:
template<typename...>
class tuple;
and later
template<typename... _Elements>
class tuple : public _Tuple_impl<0, _Elements...>
{ ... };
