Bug ID: 16461
Summary: docs on gdb.var.dynamic_type should mention use of
vtables as well as rtti

Version: unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

section 23.2.2.3 of the gdb manual says rtti is required for dynamic_type to be
more than just the static type, however when set print object is on the objects
vtable seems to be used as well.
