            Bug ID: 17772
           Summary: libstdc++'s debug info confuses gdb (with
                    "reproducer")
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c++

source file demonstrating the problem

I'm having trouble displaying structure members with certain names in
GDB.  In this concrete example GDB refuses to display the member
called `complex':

    $ cat gdb-reproducer.cpp
    #include <iostream>

    using std::cout;

    typedef struct {
            int rlevel;
            int complex;
    } param_t;

    int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
            param_t foo;

            foo.rlevel = 4;
            foo.complex= foo.rlevel + 11;

            cout << "foo.complex: " << foo.complex << "\n";

            return(0);
    }

    $ g++ -Wall -ggdb3  gdb-reproducer.cpp && ./a.out
    foo.complex: 15

    $ gdb a.out

    (gdb) p foo
    $1 = {rlevel = 4, complex = 15}
    (gdb) ptype foo
    type = struct param_t {
        int rlevel;
        int complex;
    }
    (gdb) p foo.complex
    A syntax error in expression, near `'.


Trying to find the culprit I came upon this:

    (gdb) ptype foo
    type = struct param_t {
        int rlevel;
        int complex;
    }

This suggests that something in the debug info of libstdc++ seems to
be causing the problem.

Please let me know if you can reproduce this.  I've also seen this
error when using GDB 7.8 and IIRC 7.6.

I'm working on somewhat larger codebase, with lots of automatically
generated code from XML files, using those structures.  So I would be
very thankful if someone could provide a workaround (aside from
abstaining from a debugging-enabled libstdc++) or a patch for this
"interesting behaviour".

Thank you very much!
