I'm debugging c++ code with gdb. Something is throwing a wobbly, so I hit "backtrace full" to inspect. Unfortunately some of the member variables are instances of class that contain const static fields. There are a lot of const static fields. In addition, these const static fields are themselves instances of said class:
class foo {
public:
int val;
foo(int _val) : val(_val) {}
static const foo FOO_5 = foo(5);
static const foo FOO_6 = foo(6);
static const foo FOO_7 = foo(7);
...
}
(My real code is a font formatting class with presets for bold, italic, black, red, etc)
The result is gdb feeling the need to spit out every const static field of every member of said class (and every member of each memeber, etc). This results in many screens full of the same const static fields being displayed:

My question is simple: How do I suppress const static fields from gdb's backtrace full command? Or even just remove all static fields. Cheers!
