I guess that never got implemented in gdb? It seems to work with optimization, but not at -O0: $ gdb -q -ex start -ex step -ex step -ex cont -ex q a.out Reading symbols from a.out... Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40110e: file move.C, line 16. Starting program: /tmp/a.out Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at move.C:16 16 int i = 0; 17 return std::move(i); std::move<int&> (__t=@0x7fffffffd77c: 0) at move.C:11 11 { return static_cast<typename std::remove_reference<_Tp>::type&&>(__t); } Continuing. [Inferior 1 (process 1629725) exited normally] I think I must have only tested -O0 last time. > But these functions aren't really artificial, just tiny, so using that > attribute seems wrong. I think there's a case to be made for things like std::__addressof and std::__is_constant_evaluated being "artificial" because they are just wrappers around a built-in, and purely impl details. But I agree that std::move and std::forward are not "artificial" in the sense of the DW_AT_artificial tag: https://dwarfstd.org/doc/DWARF5.pdf#page=65
