C++ debugging support in GDB is being actively worked on, and so
improves significantly with each new version.  Thus, getting the
latest GDB/RHIDE is always a good idea for C++ developers.

However, C++ is a monstrously large and complex language, so there are
currently quite a few known problems with debugging some of its more
complex and arcane features, some of them actually due to GCC
bugs/misfeatures.

If the OP has a specific (preferably short) example of a C++ program
that gives GDB trouble, please post it here so we could try it with
the latest GDB and see if the problems were solved in the meantime.
If they are not solved, they should be brought to the attention of
the GDB developers.
