When a local class has a member variable with the same name as a variable in
the containing function, gdb resolves the name incorrectly when the currently
selected frame is a member function of the class. The transcript at the end
shows a replication: w.n in the outer function scope and n in the member
function scope should refer to the same variable.

Debug info is DWARF 2.

Built with gcc -g3 demo.cpp -o demo:

// Start of file

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
        struct wrapper {
                int n;

                wrapper(int input_n) : n(input_n) { };

                bool is_even() {
                        return n % 2 == 0;
                }
        };

        int n = 4;
        wrapper w(n);
        w.is_even();
}

// EOF
