            Bug ID: 30203
           Summary: [RFE] GDB should be able to print and complete
                    function names with typedefs
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: cli
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: blarsen at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Right now, GDB only stores the canonical names of functions which, in C++ at
least, always means that typedefs have been stripped. The problem comes when a
user tries, for instance, to print information on a function from a library and
the canonical types don't give much information, or when the user know one of
the types with the typedef, GDB will be unable to finish the completion.
