gdb.cp/printmethod.exp incorrect

[Christophe LYON]

Hi all,

I am wondering if the test gdb.cp/printmethod.exp is valid or not.

The code being compiled is:
class A {
public:
   virtual void virt() {};
   void nonvirt() {};
};

int main()
{
   A *theA = new A;

   return 0;				// breakpoint: constructs-done
}

And the test performed by GDB (when stopped on the 'return 0') is:
(gdb) print theA->virt
$1 = &A::virt()
(gdb) print theA->nonvirt
Cannot take address of a method

I don't understand why the latter does not reply
$2 = &A::nonvirt()

I looked at the code and dwarf info generated by gcc (3.3.3), and found 
that nonvirt is not generated at all.

If I add 'theA->nonvirt();' before 'return 0', then the 2nd test fails, 
as GDB replies
$2 = &A::nonvirt()
as I expected.

Am I missing something, or should this test be modified?

Regards,

Christophe.
