Hello there,

Can anybody offer me some advice in using GDB to debug C++ programs?
Using DOS/Win95 with DJGPP and GDB 4.16, I notice the following problems:

  - method names are not demangled.
  - cannot refer to class variables directly, must use this->foo
  - can't find inline code

I've pored through the documentation for GDB and it seems the problem lies
with the executable file format.  In UNIX at university, I use the same
version of GDB and can debug C++ no problems.  Is there anything I can do
at home?

Thanks in advance,

Gavin Sinclair

nder Win95.  :-)
