Hi there:

I recently tried to debug a c++ program with templates.  I found that I cannot
step into the implementation of a template.  I prepared a simple example here to 
show what I mean.  Any advice is appreciated.

==================================
#include <stream.h>

template <class T>
void Print(const T & a)
{
  cout << a << endl;
}

void Print1(const float & a)
{
  cout << a << endl;
}

void Print1(const double & a)
{
  cout << a << endl;
}

main()
{
  Print(0.5);
  Print(0.4f);
  Print1(0.5);
  Print1(0.4f);
}
==================================

I used this command to compile the program: gcc -gstabs+ test.cpp -lstdc++.

When I tried to debug the program with gdb (4.16-B19), I could not step into the 
template function Print().  However I can step into function Print1().

What should I do to solve this problem?  Thanks!
