Re: Why gdb inside emacs cannot print out c++ object?

[Kevin Gao]

Seems sth wrong with my machine. Sorry for the false report.

May I ask a related question? In the local windows, instead of showing the
value, it shows "<complex data type>". Is it possible to show the value of
c++ object? (eg a std::map's value)

Thanks,
Kevin
