Just when I started to prefer gdb over dbx, I needed to switch to Sun's C++.
Does anyone know if Sun's object extensions that chokes gdb will be supported?
Here is an example:

bash$ gdb strtest
GDB 3.2, Copyright (C) 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Type "help" for a list of commands.
(gdb) b main
Reading in symbols for main.c...Invalid symbol data:\
      unrecognized type-code `c' at symtab pos 19.
(gdb) quit

I guess I could try the latest gdb. This consistent history interface provided
by readline is addicting.
