Subject: 	* expprint.c (print_subexp):  Add missing ']'.

	* expprint.c (print_subexp):  Add missing ']'.
	* defs.h (reg_names):  Fix declaration to match that in infcmd.c
	* stack.c (reg_names):  Delete redundant (and inconsistent) decl.
	* WHATS.NEW:  Point out improved C++ function name handling.
	* gdbtypes.c (lookup_fundamental_type):  For now, use the same
	type names for both implicitly and explicitly signed integral
	types.  See comment in the source code.

 		What has changed since GDB-3.5?
 		(Organized release by release)
 
+*** Changes in GDB-4.6:
+
+ * Better support for C++ function names
+
+GDB now accepts as input the "demangled form" of C++ overloaded function
+names and member function names, and can do command completion on such names
+(using TAB, TAB-TAB, and ESC-?).  The names have to be quoted with a pair of
+single quotes.  Examples are 'func (int, long)' and 'obj::operator==(obj&)'.
+Make use of command completion, it is your friend.
+
 *** Changes in GDB-4.5:
 
  * New machines supported (host and target)

+   FIXME:  Some compilers distinguish explicitly signed integral types
+   (signed short, signed int, signed long) from "regular" integral types
+   (short, int, long) in the debugging information.  There is some dis-
+   agreement as to how useful this feature is.  In particular, gcc does
+   not support this.  Also, only some debugging formats allow the
+   distinction to be passed on to a debugger.  For now, we always just
+   use "short", "int", or "long" as the type name, for both the implicit
+   and explicitly signed types.  This also makes life easier for the
+   gdb test suite since we don't have to account for the differences
+   in output depending upon what the compiler and debugging format
+   support.  We will probably have to re-examine the issue when gdb
+   starts taking it's fundamental type information directly from the
+   debugging information supplied by the compiler.  fnf@cygnus.com */
