gdb cannot understand some type with STL

I know nothing about NetBeans but Emacs uses the "complete" command for
completion.  Maybe NetBeans could use it too:

(gdb) 
complete whatis 'std::list<int,
&"complete whatis 'std::list<int,\n"
~"whatis 'std::list<int, std::allocator<int> >::_M_create_node(int const&)\n"
~"whatis 'std::list<int, std::allocator<int> >::_M_insert(std::_List_iterator<int>, int const&)\n"
~"whatis 'std::list<int, std::allocator<int> >::end()\n"
~"whatis 'std::list<int, std::allocator<int> >::list(std::allocator<int> const&)\n"
~"whatis 'std::list<int, std::allocator<int> >::push_back(int const&)\n"
~"whatis 'std::list<int, std::allocator<int> >::~list()\n"
~"whatis 'std::list<int,std::allocator<int> >\n"
^done
(gdb) 


or better still use:

-interpreter-exec console "complete whatis 'std::list<int,"
