Try "set print object on".
(I am working on a fix which would make that unnecessary).

This usually happens when you have a pointer to Foo, and do:

  print p.virtfn()

Instead, try:

  print p->virtfn()

(I am also working on that fix).

If you compiled without '-O*', no inlining should have happened.
If you do compile with '-g -O2', you are inflicting pain on yourself.
