[GD-Linux] watch/awatch?

[Ryan C. G. <ic...@cl...>]

Has anyone actually gotten "watch", "rwatch" or "awatch" to work on
GDB/Linux/x86?

These commands seem to be to be broken/useless in gdb 5.0, but maybe I'm
just using them wrong...?

for example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int x;

    x = 5;
    x = 10;
    x = 15;

    return(0);
}

Compile:

   gcc -g -o ./x ./x.c
   gdb ./x


   b main
   r
   watch x != 5
   c

Doesn't stop until main returns.

(*shrug*)
