>Description:
This is not new, but I want to point out that these two bugs are related:

http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=3187
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gdb&pr=267

In the little program below I want to place a breakpoint in the constructor via gdb. But it will never be called. The reason is that the binary contains the constructor function twice. The breakpoint will be set in the first function. But the second function is called.

// File simpletest.cpp: g++ -g3 simpletest.cpp
class A
{
public:
   A();
private:
   bool bFlag;
   int  num;
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  A* pA = new A;
  return 0;
}

A::A()
{
   bFlag = false;   // Here I want to place a breakpoint
   num = 9;
}

It is visible even in the assembler output, created via 
g++ -S simpletest.cpp
Both constructors are identical and follow behind each other.
