gdb does not stops inside a template function

(gdb) break templ_dbg.cpp:4

I think you need to do:

(gdb) b int const f<int>(int const&)
(gdb) b double const f<double>(double const&)

if you want it to stop at both places.  Completion makes them easier
to type:

(gdb) b int<TAB>
(gdb) b double<TAB>

(Although I can only see how to select a candidate using Emacs.)
