I've just started trying to use the
String class. The following code works
OK, but when I put a breakpoint as
shown, and try to examine variables
with
gdb, I get 

(gdb) p s
$1 = <incomplete type> 
    

#include <String.h>
       
   int main()
           
   {
      String s ;
      s = "Hello";
      String t = " world";
      String v = s + t;
				breakpoint
      cout << v << endl;
   
      return 0;
   }

That's because libg++ was stripped of all symbols. You simply can't "look"
into String implementation any more. Sorry.

I do suggest that you dump String and use the standard "string" from now
on. String is part of deprecated libg++, which you should avoid at all
costs in new code.
