Re: [patch/rfc] mention C++ support in NEWS


That's a good point.  How about:

  GDB's support for nested types and namespaces in C++ has been
  improved, especially if you use the DWARF 2 debugging format.  (This
  is the default for recent versions of GCC on most platforms.)
  Specifically, if you have a class "Inner" defined within a class or
  namespace "Outer", then GDB realizes that the class's name is
  "Outer::Inner", not simply "Inner".  This should greatly reduce the
  frequency of complaints about not finding RTTI symbols.  In
  addition, if you are stopped at inside of a function defined within
  a namespace, GDB modifies its name lookup accordingly.

My two cents: looks okay to me.
