Hi all.
I've been having problems using list functions inside of gdb.
-----------------------------------
#include <list>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
main(){
list<int> l;
vector<int> v;
l.push_back(0);
l.push_back(1);
v.push_back(0);
v.push_back(1);
}
--------------------------------------------
if I try:
"p l.size()"
I get a "Cannot evaluate function -- may be inlined" even if I compile
with an -fno-inline.
"ptype l" gives something reasonable which shows "size_t size() const;"
None of the same problems with the vector.
Does anyone have any idea why this doesn't work?
Thanks in advance,
Craig

Craig,
Sorry this reply is late - I missed your message. You've hit a
fundamental problem of debugging C++ templates. Because
std::list<int>::size() is never called by the program, it is never
instantiated, and thus it doesn't exist for GDB to call it.
On the other hand, I'll bet that the implementation of v.push_back()
references v.size(); that's logical for a vector.
If you include an explicit call to l.size() in the program somewhere,
then GDB calls the method properly.
