Hi,

I'm using GDB for the first time to debug a C++ program (compiled with
-g flag with G++). One thing I couldn't figure out how to do is to
execute some method call inside GDB, eg:

gdb> print someObj.someMethod(someArgs....)

GDB would always return back something like "there's no component
named someMethod", even though someMethod is a valid method of
the class to which someObj belongs to.

Is there something I have to do make the above work?

I'm current using GDB 4.6 on Sun OS.

Thanks in advance for any help,

CheeMeng
