Getting to the source for a given C++ object

Hi,

I'm currently trying to debug a C++ program that makes heavy use of
templates and derived classes. Is there an easy way to get to the actual
code for a given class pointer?

At the moment if I look at the class pointer it gives me the template
instantiation which I can work it out from but as most of the parameters
are #define's is a rather labour intensive operation.

e.g.

(gdb) p currNode
$8 = (Operation<(ExpressionType)45, 0, 1, RegisterID, (ResultType)2> *)
0x3834a3d0
