See the last discussion:
	Move GDB to C++ ?
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2008-07/msg00077.html
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2008-08/msg00004.html

There is an ongoing work to make it at least possible:
	http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ArcherBranchManagement
		-> archer-ratmice-compile-Wc++-compat

This idea is not new.


Thanks,
Jan
