>Description:
If I create a C++ class and define the constructor outside
the class definition, breakpoints in the constructor are
ignored. Adding complexity to the constructor (I/O or function/method calls) resolves the problem.

Doing object file dumps of the debugging/line information
shows the object file has line information for the line
in question. The break commands also succeed. Its just at
run time the breakpoints are ignored.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set breakpoints at lines 7, 14, and 20. Run the program.
Gdb stops at the breakpoints at lines 7 and 20, but does
not stop at the one at line 14.
