 I mainly posted this in the gcc-bug-database because the mention of the gdb-problem wasn't there yet. IMHO the
 gcc-developers should be aware that their changes also can break gdb-functionality. As a user I expect that these tools
 work together.
 I also posted it on the gdb-bug-database, because I tried to explain it more clearly. Daniel Jacobowitz already mentions
 "cloned functions", but I didn't really understand this at first. Probably I should rather have added a note instead of
 opening a new report - sorry for any inconvenience. (Why does adding a note require the use of email, when starting a
 new report does not?)
 
 I also tried the current gdb-version from 04-27 which still contains the problem.
 
 One reason why I investigated the matter and posted the report was because I stumbled across this problem several times
 and think that it is very annoying, because my program uses many constructors that do a lot of work and I can't simply
 step in as in the example I mentioned. (By the way: I'm author of KDiff3 at http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net). There I
 think is another gdb-problem, but I haven't investigated and simplyfied it yet.
 
 Let me end by thanking you developers for doing such an awesome job in providing such an advanced tool and supporting so
 many languages and platforms.
 
 Best regards,
 Joachim
