Hi All,
I've got an ELF file compiled with a proprietary C/C++ compiler, where the
project contains namespaces.
I’ve parsed DWARF info and it reveals that variables sitting in namespace
have their names fully qualified, like AAA::BBB::name.
Another point, the compilation unit marked as C89 source regardless of C++
source file taken as input file.
And there are no attributes ’ DW_AT_namespace’ found in DWARF info.
(Checked same project with ARM compiler and yes, there are those attributes)
As a result, the variables from namespaces are neither displayed as
variables nor as expressions. Is there any chance to teach gdb how to
process such names?
Regards,
Stanislav.

You mean DW_TAG_namespace?

Yes, it would be by hacking in dwarf2/read.c. I don't know how easy or difficult
this particular change would be though.
