--- Comment #8 from Tom Tromey <tromey at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-07-12 18:34:08 UTC --- I'd like to ping this again. I've been working on adding support for new and delete to gdb. The missing debuginfo here is a barrier to this. I think gdb would generally like to call the deleting destructor when it is available. Right now there is no way to find this destructor from the debuginfo. I agree this would require a DWARF extension. I think something like DW_AT_destructor with values DW_DESTRUCTOR_complete_object, DW_DESTRUCTOR_deleting, and DW_DESTRUCTOR_base_object. I can file a bug on dwarfstd.org if you think this makes sense.
