DDD and preprocessor macros

[Andreas Paulsen]

Hello,
I am using DDD as a frontend for gdb 6.1.
My C++ code contains smartpointers implemented by preprocessor macros using the the # stringification operator,
and is compiled with the gcc "-g3" option.
When running gdb without a frontend I can not print the value of such a smartpointer:
> (gdb) print this->smartptr_
> $4 = <incomplete type>
This is not surprising given that chapter 9 of the latest "Debugging with gdb" manual states:
"At the moment, gdb does not support the ## token-splicing operator, the # stringification operator, or variable-arity macros."

Fair enough.
However, if I run gdb with DDD as a frontend and set a breakpoint on a line where a smartpointer is derefenced:
smartptr_->someFunc();
it crashes with the message "GDB terminated abnormally (Segmentation fault)"!
Is there a way to avoid this?

Best regards and thanks a lot in advance for any help,
