hi,

I discovered this when deep hacking into the symbol code of GDB a while ago. Apparently, some people enjoy breakpointing symbols by using the fully mangled name, which appears (nowadays) mainly in the minsym table.

This sort of hack is often used to work around what appears to be the inability of gdb to put breakpoints in c++ constructors (or maybe it is bad dwarf2 debugging output by gcc, I don't know).

regards,
Mathieu
