Re: c++ debugging broke last week

[Peter Schmid <schmid at snake dot iap dot physik dot tu-darmstadt dot de>]

Surprisingly, I cannot reproduce your report. When I debug the executable
generated by compiling your code fragment by gcc version 3.1 20010902,
gdb prints the static const member data. I believe the printed values
are correct.

My copy of gdb is of the mid of June 2001. 

Hope this help,

Peter Schmid
