>Description:
GDB doesn't know when a type is defined within a C++
namespace: it treats such types as being defined within
the global namespace.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile this file:

namespace A {
  struct C {
    int x;
  };
}

int main()
{
  A::C theC;

  return 0;
}

Then try to print out the type A::C.  That doesn't work,
but just printing out C does even though it shouldn't.

(gdb) b main

(gdb) ptype A::C

(gdb) ptype 'A::C'

type = class C {
  public:
    int x;
}
