Bug 308678

Description Elena Laskavaia 2010-04-09 13:49:21 EDT

Inspired by bug 304010. I fixed it in CDI but same problem in DSF
using gdb 6.8

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

namespace n {
	class Base {
	private:
		int pri;
	public:
		int baseVar;
		Base() : baseVar (42), pri(42) {}
	};
}

class A : public n::Base{
private:
	int pri;
public:
	int aVar;
	A() : aVar(1), pri(1){}
};

void main(){
   A test; // if you try to view baseVar in details it fails
   //...
}



The problem is gdb itself returns incorrect result for path expr of base "Base" member

105,281 108-var-info-path-expression var1.n::Base.public.baseVar
105,282 108^done,path_expr="((((n::Base) test)).baseVar)"

So when it is requested it cannot show the expression because it required namespace stuff surrounded by ''

110,169 114-data-evaluate-expression "((((n::Base) test)).baseVar)"
110,169 115-var-set-format var1.n::Base.public.baseVar binary
110,170 &"A syntax error in expression, near `test)).baseVar)'.\n"
110,170 114^error,msg="A syntax error in expression, near `test)).baseVar)'."


It is unlikely that GDB will fix it so I think it should be fixed in CDT
because it is really annoying (no namespace stuff can be viewed!)

Maybe we can write some simple tockenizer that finds strings like a::b and quotes them before sending evaluate expression command
