gdb - 如何使用 "watch"GDB？

Question

我尝试通过命令“watch a”来观察“int a”的变化。然而，当它变成12时，程序并没有停止。为什么？

 /* FILE: test.c */
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>

 int main(int argc, char** argv){
  printf("Hello world\n");

  int a = 12;
  a = 10;                                                                                                                                                                      
  return 0; 
 }

它可能有助于指定您的平台、GDB 版本以及您使用的 GDB 命令的确切顺序。

这是我所看到的(GDB 似乎工作得很好):

$ gcc -g test.c

$ gdb a.out

Watchpoint 2 deleted because the program has left the block in
which its expression is valid.
0x00007ffff7ab3033 in exit () from /lib/libc.so.6

Program exited normally.
