Agreed, but for the user, with code source like this foobar(const char *p);
and then having the debugger insisting on only accepting foobar(char const
*p) for breakpoint is ... heu ... bizarre.

That may not be possible (the query) for the front-end. Let me ask you
rephrase the question, is this behavior dependent of the type of debug info?
i.e. if I use dwarf-2 vs. stabs++, GDB will not refuse "char const *" I can
work around this if the behavior is consistent.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
