        <pre>A static local variable usually has its DWARF entry emitted as a child
of the defining DIE for its subprogram.
But if the subprogram is inside a namespace, the variable’s DIE gets
emitted as a child of a non-defining declaration DIE for the subprogram.
This makes it inaccessible to gdb.

Run the following program under gdb.  When you step into Test::NSFunc(),
“info locals” reports no locals and “p foo” says there’s no such variable.
Step into GlobalFunc() and you can see “bar” just fine.

namespace Test {
  void NSFunc() {
    static int foo = 1;
    foo++;
  }
}

void GlobalFunc() {
  static int bar = 1;
  bar++;
}

int main(void) {
  Test::NSFunc();
  GlobalFunc();
  return 0;
}</pre>
