CDT asks gdb incorrectly for member variables in base classes when namespace is defined. When I click on such variable in Variables window I get error: Failed to execute MI command: -data-evaluate-expression "(((*(palo::Commitable*) ((server).px))).comm_name)" Error message from debugger back end: A syntax error in expression, near `) ((server).px))).comm_name)'. That's because gdb requires quotation marks aroud type with namespace like: (((*('palo::Commitable'*) ((server).px))).comm_name) -- Configuration Details -- Product: Eclipse 1.3.0.20100617-0520 (org.eclipse.epp.package.linuxtools.product) Installed Features: org.eclipse.platform 3.6.0.v20100602-9gF78GpqFt6trOGhL60z0oEx3fz-JKNwxPY
Can you add a snippet of code to reproduce the problem?
Just create new C++ project and add this code: #include <string> namespace test { class testbase { public: testbase() : str("test") {} private: std::string str; }; class test : public testbase { }; } int main(void) { test::test t; return 0; } Now debug it and make one step. Go to variables windows and expand t and test::testbase and click on str. You get error message "Failed to execute MI command: -data-evaluate-expression "((((test::testbase) t)).str)" Error message from debugger back end: A syntax error in expression, near `t)).str)'." When you right click str and select watch and then edit the expression to be: (((('test::testbase') t)).str), than you'll get the value.
Looks like a duplicate of bug #308678
