Hi,
This patch is trying to fix a bug in gdb. The problem is found in following
C++ test case.
#include <cstdio>
class A {
public:
enum E {X,Y,Z};
};
class B : A {
public:
void test(E e);
};
void B::test(E e) {
if (e == X) { //b 14 if e==X
printf("%d\n",e);
}
}
int main() {
B b;
b.test(A::X);
return 0;
}
Compiled by gcc-4.1.2 with -O0 -g.
I tried to plant a conditional breakpoint in line 14 as shown in comment but
got a error shows 'No symbol "X" in current context'. The symbol 'X' is
accessible in that scope.
The bug is that gdb did not look up enum constant symbols derived from base
classes. My patch adds some code in cp_lookup_symbol_namespace to call
itself
recursively, so that to make gdb search symbols from all base classes.
Is this patch OK?
Thanks.
Lei
