GDB digestion problems

Description

Some coding constructs produce debugging information seemingly hard to swallow for our poor friend.
Their mere presence may cause GDB to segfault when loading the inferior -- which turns this situation into a liability...

So the short-term workaround should be marked with this Ticket #1118
and the reason should be investigated and settled on the long run;
yet such requires patience, since we're running a not-so bleeding-edge reference plattform (Debian / stable)
and bug reports against the respective compiler or debugger versions are'nt likely to catch mutch attention.

known problematic constructs

  • decltype( <...generic lambda...> ) used in metaprogramming. (➞ IterTreeExplorer_test)
