             Bug #: 15401
           Summary: "set print object on" + printing variables of type: a
                    reference to derived class.
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: marcin.konarski@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


gdb prints values of variables that are of reference type
like they were a pointers if value in question is instance of some
derived type that has a vtable.

Notice difference in how f2 variable is printed in session script
that is included below after I turn "set print object on".

How to reproduce:
