gdb does not print the reference to the base class members

["Peng Yu" <pengyu.ut@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I try to print reference x for the following problem. But gdb does not
print the one in class B refered to class A? Do you know how to print
its value?

Thanks,
Peng

#include <iostream>

};

class B : public A {
  public:

      int &x = A::_a;//can not print from gdb, Line 12
      std::cout << x << std::endl;
    }
};


int main(){
  int a = 5;
  int &x = a;//this one can be printed in gdb, Line 22
