Special C++ Issues

For non-static member functions, the implicit this pointer is displayed as the address on the stack trace along with the class type of the object, as shown in the following example.

Examples

GDB Mode:

(idb) break List<Node>::print
Breakpoint 3 at 0x804aee2: file src/x_list.cxx, line 162.
(idb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 3, List<Node>::print (this=0xbfff8db0) at src/x_list.cxx:162
162 Node* currentNode = _firstNode;
(idb) backtrace 2
#0 0x0804aee2 in List<Node>::print (this=0xbfff8db0) at src/x_list.cxx:162
#1 0x08051a3c in main () at src/x_list.cxx:203

IDB Mode:

(idb) stop in List<Node>::print
[#3: stop in void List<Node>::print(void) const]
(idb) cont
[3] stopped at [void List<Node>::print(void) const:162 0x0804aee2]
162 Node* currentNode = _firstNode;
