I'm working on a huge (1,000,000 lines of code + 12 3rd party libraries) 
project and I'm trying to use gdb to debug some template classes. More 
specifically, I've got a template within a template. I want to be able to 
get a breakpoint.
Note that my GDB script has a number of dir commands so it can find all the 
sources and header files. 
In this case, there is a static class variable I want to set a watchpoint 
on. 
But, even when stepping thorough I generally cannot even view the lines of 
code (templates are generally inlined). 
In this particular case I am using the Intel C++ compiler on an Itanium 
processor.

What is really strange is that the Intel version of the code fails to obtain 
some data, but executes and exits cleanly. The g++ code executes cleanly 
and segfaults on exit. 

There are other debugging techniques I am using, but the ability to step 
into or set a breakpoint in a template class function would save me some 
time.
