Probably an ignorant question, but how does this particular ABI get used? > Yes, it would certainly make sense to teach gdb (not just the Emacs > interface of gdb) to recognize STL containers and give a better display. > The members of std::vector have been stable since gcc-3.0, I'm pretty > sure (certainly since 3.2). I was thinking of doing it in Emacs, not Gdb. AFAIK, Gdb can't tell what compiler created the executable. > But that would be more appropriate to discuss on the gdb list. Yes, but are the internals of the STL containers described somewhere, the GCC internals manual, for example? -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
