Please file a bug.

THE SETUP: BaseClass.h declares C++ class; BaseClass.cpp defines.
DerivedClass.h declares a C++ subclass, DerivedClass.mm defines. Why
.mm? Because DerivedClass methods make Cocoa calls.
THE SYMPTOM: Debugging a DerivedClass method, clicking the disclosure
triangle for "this" shows nothing. This is the real problem. Related
side-effects include this error message to the system console:
Xcode[2892] [PBXGDB_Adaptor(0xb4ddac0)
errorForMICommand:errorMessage:]:
error in executing MI command: PBXGDB_MIGetChildrenVarObjCommand;
'-var-list-children "var2" 2'; error msg:
Type BaseClass has no component named BaseClass.
and the same error to the debugger console. Some time after this, the
debugger console says
Current language: auto; currently objective-c++
Warning: the current language does not match this frame.
I can reproduce this in a test project with just these two classes.
MORE INFO: What's this about BaseClass having component BaseClass? A
hint comes from debugging a BaseClass method called on a DerivedClass
instance. Clicking the disclosure triangle shows a member called
"BaseClass", whose own triangle discloses the BaseClass fields. And
below that, the DerivedClass fields are shown.
TRIED WORKAROUNDS: Unfortunately, changing BaseClass.cpp to
BaseClass.mm and/or changing its file type to "sourcecode.cpp.objcpp"
has no effect on this problem.
Not being able to examine the fields of "this" (or any other objects
with this inheritance style) is crippling my development. I may have
to move to CodeWarrior unless I find a workaround. Suggestions?
