There are several remarks to that bug report:
- I don't know at all how nested functions work in C
Are they allowed?
AKAIK no, they are not allowed, and this is the root of the problem, since gdb is written mainly by/for C programmers.
They aren't allowed by standard C. GCC does in fact allow them, although their use isn't recommended. I think GDB's support for them is somewhat crusty.
