Greetings,
Is there a way to watch a particular piece of the ch->pcdata
structure in GDB?
I have a var that changes but I cant find where it is being changed.....
ch->pcdata->bail
(gdb) break char_update
(gdb) run 4000
Breakpoint 1, char_update () at update.c:613
613 ch_quit = NULL;
(gdb) display ch->name
1: ch->name = 0x90900047 <Address 0x90900047 out of bounds>
(gdb) next
616 save_number++;
1: ch->name = 0x90900047 <Address 0x90900047 out of bounds>
(gdb) next
618 if (save_number > 29)
1: ch->name = 0x90900047 <Address 0x90900047 out of bounds>
(gdb) next
621 for ( ch = char_list; ch != NULL; ch = ch_next )
1: ch->name = 0x90900047 <Address 0x90900047 out of bounds>
(gdb) next
626 ch_next = ch->next;
1: ch->name = 0x86da10dd "wolf"
(gdb)
The DISPLAY command will cause GDB to display the contents of the
variable in question before printing the command prompt every time. To
turn it off, UNDISPLAY # (where # is the number to the left of the
variable display you want to turn off.
Any help would be helpful.
Hope that helps. I haven't messed with mud code in a couple of years,
but still read this list for nostalga.
