I don't think I understand this last comment.
A recent gdb does use the various template parameters to prettify
type display. The example in this PR isn't so great, gdb gets
something wrong :(. However:
(gdb) ptype k
type = struct K<int, int> [with T1 = int, T2 = int] {
T1 v1;
T1 v2;
}
I'd like to be able to print:
(gdb) whatis k
type = K<int>
This will make type display in various places more consistent with
what people generally want to see; and anyway there is an option to
peel back the curtain and see the full information.
