As already posted to you, here also for all others.

All the problems when debugging C++ code can be solved, when
using stabs debugging information. For this it is only needed
to change the configuration file 'go32.h' from the gcc sources
and rebuild gcc (cc1 cc1plus).

I made this already for my own and it works wonderfull. There is
only one side effect which I couldn't solve until now. If you mix
the COFF debugging information (SDB) with stabs debugging information,
gdb is absolutely confused and you will not be able to debug correct.
And the next is: You cannot debug programs, which have stabs debugging
information, with fsdb or edebug32.

Because I have realy not time for it, I searched not longer for the
reason and I made my changes also not public. But I would send my
changes to every one (or here in that group) if there is someone
who want to make a correct patch and send it to FSF for the next
releases of gcc.
