RE: Breakpoint on class member function


In my case language is set to auto, so when I was in the C routine the
language was C.  Once I ended up in a routine that was C++ my current
language became C++.  I want to be clear, even if the current language is C,
I should be able to set a breakpoint on a C++ class member function as I was
expecting?

OK, that makes sense.  Let's file this with the "current language
doesn't make sense" pile.  Would you mind filing a PR for tracking
purposes?  It probably won't be fixed any time soon.
