            Bug ID: 18088
           Summary: Allow setting breakpoints on unqualified symbols
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: breakpoints
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jrmuizel at gmail dot com

For example, given a symbol like 'SomeNamespace::SomeClass::SomeMethod' being
able to just use 'SomeMethod' and have the breakpoint set on all matches.

lldb has this behaviour by default and it makes using lldb a pleasure to use.

--- Comment #1 from Keith Seitz <keiths at redhat dot com> ---
A quick workaround... You can use the rbreak command to do this today:

(gdb) rb ::a_function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401bba: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/cpexprs.cc,
line 280.
void base1::a_function() const;
Breakpoint 2 at 0x401bec: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/cpexprs.cc,
line 292.
void base2::a_function() const;
Breakpoint 3 at 0x401d10: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/cpexprs.cc,
line 301.
void derived::a_function() const;
