Since this thread seems to have taken on a bit of new life, I'd like to ask if you/others can point to a past GDB mailing list thread/two (or even a timefreame) when this issue was discussed? I made a quick pass through the GDB mailing list archives dating back to 2000, and found only a few oblique references to recoding parts of GDB back into C++ with selective use of its OO facilities. thanks, - Gary
