>Description:

FreeBSD gdb fails to show some valid C++ objects

>How-To-Repeat:

% cat str.cpp
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class a
{
public:  string x;
};

int main()
{
  a s;
  s.x = "Test1";
  return 0;
}
% g++ -g -o str str.cpp
%  gdb str
GNU gdb 5.2.1 (FreeBSD)
...
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048665: file str.cpp, line 12.
(gdb) r
Starting program:
/usr/local/home/vova/str 

Breakpoint 1, main () at str.cpp:12
12        a s;
(gdb) n
13        s.x = "Test1";
(gdb) p a
Attempt to use a type name as an expression
(gdb) p s
$1 = {x = {static npos = Error accessing memory address 0x83c451c: Bad address.
(gdb)

>Fix:

gdb53 from ports works as expected:

% gdbada str
GNU gdb 5.3 (FreeBSD)
...
This GDB was configured as "i386-portbld-freebsd5.1"...
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048665: file str.cpp, line 12.
(gdb) r
Starting program:
/usr/local/home/vova/str 

Breakpoint 1, main () at str.cpp:12
12        a s;
(gdb) n
13        s.x = "Test1";
(gdb) p s
$1 = {x = {static npos = 4294967295, _M_dataplus = {<allocator<char>> = {<No
data fields>}, _M_p = 0x281326b8 ""}, static _S_empty_rep_storage = {0, 
      0, 1, 0}}}
(gdb) 

PS:
 Another question, why gdb53-ada present in packages directory as
   ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/Latest/gdb.tbz
