gdb log
I could not duplicate this problem. Can you attach a minimal test case which demonstrates the problem? It looks like its using Wind32 and/or COM APIs and I've got no experience there. If its possible to give me a very simple tarball containing a test case it would make it easier to duplicate and fix. Thanks! Also, do you see similar behavior expanding "this" in the Local Variables view? I looked further at the gdb log file and part of the problem is that when the IDE asks gdb for type information for "this" gdb returns an error message saying there is no "this" in the current scope (this may be a user error but I can't say for sure). If I setup a similar environment and override the return of the type request with a similar error, I get the recurring this->*this behavior. So it looks like I can set this scenario up via some hacking. If so, I should also be able to set up a test to correctly deal with it. This means I won't be able to expand "this" if gdb doesn't tell me its type. After getting Alexander's test case (via email) I've completed the fix for this issue. The 1st part of the fix was in changeset http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/2ec6a02936a7. Today's part is in changeset http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/15f42a816c6e.
