That's your misunderstanding right there - GDB doesn't support context
sensitive tab completion at all.

I think Pierre implemented this for Pascal once, but it was never
merged.  Aha, there's the patch - April 2002.  There's a bit of yacc
hacking required.  I'm not really sure how it would work for C++,
but I think badly: the grammar will not gracefully handle partially
typed expressions, like "p ( x.<tab>".
