Bug 301701

Description of problem:
When I am trying to set breakpoint on a destructor, which has virtual destructor
in its inheritance, using 'b class::~class' form, gdb sets the breakpoint, but
it does not get hit when program is run. Gdb most likely setting this breakpoint
on a incorrect PC address, or setting it on non in-charge destructor, which
never gets called.


How reproducible:
See attached testcase

Comment 1 lists the command 'b class::~class', I agree this command does not
target the destructor variant used in the testcase.

(1) Please use apostrophes to quote the destructor (/constructor) names
    themselves, such as:
    (gdb) b 'my::~my'

(2) You may use <tab>-completion if you use the quotation as above:
    (gdb) b 'my::~my<tab>

(3) In this specific testcase of the provided it_file 101926 you should use:
    (gdb) b 'my::~my$delete()'

(4) There is a break-point menu provided if the specified name qualifies for
    multiple functions:
    (gdb) b 'A::A'
    [0] cancel
    [1] all
    [2] A::A() at /tmp/constructor.C:9
    [3] A::A(int) at /tmp/constructor.C:10
    [4] A::A(long) at /tmp/constructor.C:11
    [5] A::A$base() at /tmp/constructor.C:9

    It may be considered a Bug in the Red Hat branch of the GDB that it does not
    offer the `$delete' destructor variants in this menu.  Therefore
    (gdb) b 'my::~my'
    only resolves to a single destructor instance and thus no menu is displayed.
    With the proposed fix there would be some menu like:
    (gdb) b 'my::~my'
    [0] cancel
    [1] all
    [2] my::~my() at destructor.cxx:24
    [3] my::~my$delete() at destructor.cxx:24

(5) Another Bug targets the proper rewrite of this constructors/destructors
    handling by GDB.  The current Jeff Johnston's patches use the .symtab
    section and depend on the DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name DWARF tags.  This is
    wrong as it should all be based on the unnamed DWARF .debug_info PC ranges.
    I already spent a lot of time on this patch but I still do not have it
    finished right now.  Still I hope to get it upstream submittable soon.


Suggesting to consider this Bug as the target for (4) - to update
add_minsym_members() in gdb-6.3-linespec-20041213.patch to also list the
`$delete' variant of the destructor.  Only the $allocate variant of the
constructors is defined in the patch gdb-6.3-constructor-20041216.patch but
AFAIK gcc never uses this one.  This the patch may also include even this one.

here is the proposed implementation:

(gdb) b my::~my
[0] cancel
[1] all
[2] my::~my() at destructor.cxx:24
[3] my::~my$delete() at destructor.cxx:24
