GDB requires explicit dereferences, that are normally

Example:
for D : a.d.c.somevar
GDB needs : (*a).(*d).(*c).somevar
Can you say a->d->c->somevar instead?
That does not work for me (GDB 8.3.5). I remember that there's a
problem with D classes in GDB [1] (they have the same internal
type as structs). This makes rewriting the expressions difficult
without D semantic.

Ideally using ptype it would be possible to accurately fix the
expression copied from the source.
