Tom> The proposed change means that a breakpoint could still be set, just not Tom> including the return type. Jan> It cannot be set by copy-pasting the symbol name from nm or similar tools. Of all the choices I consider this the least bad. Jan> The data structures could contain both names - with the return type and Jan> without the return type - so that GDB does match both. I think that would require too much memory for what is really a marginal feature. Tom
