[Bug c++/37590] g++ should emit different debug info for variable's type

[dodji at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #4 from dodji at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-09-21 13:28 -------
What if gcc always outputs the fully qualified type name ?

Today's DWARF supports the DW_TAG_imported_module tag that should let the
debugger know that a "using namespace std;" was present in the lexical block
enclosing the variable declaration that we are considering.

So with those two pieces of informations (fully qualified type name and the
using directive), I believe the debugger should be able to display the correct
thing to the user.

Woud that make sense ?
