arguments and frame bases. Older versions of GDB could crash when they
encountered these.
* C++ nested types and namespaces
GDB's support for nested types and namespaces in C++ has been
improved, especially if you use the DWARF 2 debugging format. (This
is the default for recent versions of GCC on most platforms.)
Specifically, if you have a class "Inner" defined within a class or
namespace "Outer", then GDB realizes that the class's name is
"Outer::Inner", not simply "Inner". This should greatly reduce the
frequency of complaints about not finding RTTI symbols. In addition,
if you are stopped at inside of a function defined within a namespace,
GDB modifies its name lookup accordingly.
