Well, GDB 5.0 was released only about a year ago, and the part you
referred to was written for v5.0 ;-)
Thanks for the other info. I think we need indeed to change the wording
in that part of the manual, but perhaps we should wait until closer to
the release of 5.1, in order to know what exactly to say--I understand
that you are still working on improving the C++ support.
