I'm interested in modifying gdb to support the symbol tables generated
by Sun's C++ 2.0 (a straight Cfront, pretty much...) It's mostly
normal dbx format (in fact, sun includes a dbx++ but it has enough
flaws for me to justify working on extending gdb - and it doesn't have
emacs lineediting, which should itself be enough justification...)
There seem to be a few new entry types, a "Zc:" which is followed by a
list of mangled names for all methods in the class, a "Zr" and a "Zl"
which I haven't deciphered yet...
	Has anyone else tried this? I'm interested in patches (to 3.5
or later) or suggestions. EMAIL to me and I'll post a summary.

ps. Please don't flame me for not using G++; I *do* use G++ normally,
but there are a few reasons I have to use Sun C++ for this project. _Mark_
