Bug #: 55641
Summary: debug info for the type of a reference declared with a
typedef has spurious 'const'
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: debug
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: dblaikie@gmail.com
Example code:
typedef int &foo;
int x;
foo f(x);
under gdb run "whatis f" and the answer is "const foo" when it should be plain
"foo" (if you skip the typedef the answer is correctly "int&" not "int& const"
or any similarly strange mismatch)
Found in the GDB 7.5 test suite ( gdb.python/lib-types.exp ) - this is
positively tested for, but so far as I can imagine that's by accident, not
intent.
