Description of Problem:

In certain situations involving nested C++ classes gdb fails to find type
information of class objects, and reports an internal error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gdb-5.2.1-4
gcc-3.2-7

How Reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:

Script started on Wed Oct 30 00:58:14 2002
$ cat foo.C

class Bsuper {
	public:
		int bsuper;

		Bsuper() : bsuper(0) {}

		virtual void foo()=0;

};

static void foobar(void *vp)
{
}

class A {
	class B;
	public:
	friend class B;

	A();
};

class A::B : public Bsuper {
	public:
		int b;

	B() : b(0)
		{
		}

		void foo() {}
};

A::A()
{
	B b;

	foobar(&b);
}

int main()
{
	A a;

}
$ g++ -g -o foo foo.C
$ gdb foo
