>Description:
gdb shows C++ constructors with return type "void".
This is bogus.  Constructors don't have a return type.
Some test scripts, such as gdb.c++/classes.exp, FAIL on this.

  ptype class A
  type = class A {
    public:
      int a;
      int x;

      A & operator=(A const&);
      void A(A const&);
      void A(A const&);
      void A();
      void A();
  }

Contrast with this output using gcc 2.95.2 and the same
version of gdb:

  ptype class A
  type = class A {
    public:
      int a;
      int x;

      A & operator=(A const &);
      A(A const &);
      A(void);
  }
>How-To-Repeat:
Run the test suite with a v3 compiler and look at the log
for gdb.c++/classes.exp.
