Hi! I just tried in gdb to watch a memory location.
(gdb) watch *0x78f2d98cd040 Hardware watchpoint 6: *0x78f2d98cd040 (gdb) c Continuing. Couldn't write debug registers: Operation not permitted. Command aborted. (gdb) Watching an expression worked (gdb) watch tws->dirs[0]->name Watchpoint 5: tws->dirs[0]->name ... but doesn't work for my use case because Watchpoint 5 deleted because the program has left the block in which its expression is valid. and I think the variable is changed outside somehow. That's on gdb 15.1, NetBSD 10.99.12/amd64/20240827. Is this expected to work? Is this a PAX issue and I need to disable (some of) it? Thomas
