This is for the STL but I think it is useful for other templates. When I had that issue that is the best I could do for examining template variables and I think it just works. http://wiki.freaks-unidos.net/weblogs/arhuaco/debugging-stl-code-with-gdb I am also interested in your experiences (I use more C than C++ now but I guess I might use C++ once in a while).
