            Bug ID: 65840
           Summary: type of result of at least some libstdc++ xmethods is
                    different than real operator
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: dje at google dot com

Using libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-xmethods/unique_ptr.cc
as a testcase, and modifying it to ensure the * operator is compiled in:

Note the difference in type of the result of the xmethod vs the real *
operator. IWBN if they had the same type. If this requires additions to gdb we
can do that.
