+gdb/1516: [regression] local classes, gcc 2.95.3, dwarf-2
+
+With gcc 2.95.3 and the dwarf-2 debugging format, classes which are
+defined locally to a function include the demangled name of the function
+as part of their name.  For example, if a function "foobar" contains a
+local class definition "Local", gdb will say that the name of the class
+type is "foobar__Fi.0:Local".
+
+This applies only to classes where the class type is defined inside a
+function, not to variables defined with types that are defined somewhere
+outside any function (which most types are).
