Re: [cdt-debug-dev] GDB reporting "No symbol 'whatever' in current conte

Mikhail,

I was about to compose a response to Alain, but you have saved me.

I completely, 100% agree with the comments in the PR (and I have added my vote

Yes, it should be suppressed. And, as of CDT3.1.1, it has not been fixed.

Thanks
