  It isn't same; for example if I want to say: "list f_MyFunction"
  and if there is (==beginning of "f_MyFunction") some objects 
  which have inline constructors I get list of those constructor(s)
  NOT list of "f_MyFunction" as I expected/wanted.  Besides, 
  I have to check what is the line number from source code by editor 
  because gdb can't show that line to me.

  Same goes with "next"; if I set breakpoint: "b f_MyFunction"
  I don't get what I want, because I end up to inside of those
  f*king inline constructor(s) again when breakpoint is reached!

  All this works with gdb-5.0, so gdb-5.1.x behaves
  differently here...

  I tried, but it didn't help...
