>Description:
Changes since 5.1 have improved printing of C++ classes.
The most obvious thing still missing (relative to classic
gdb and g++) is the printing of the virtual function pointer
contained in every C++ class with virtual methods. Either
as a unique address which can be used to determine the
derived class of a particular instance, or better yet, as
a symbol that contains the actual name of the class. This
capability is indispensable for C++ debugging. Thanks.
