optind

[Baurjan Ismagulov <ibr@ata.cs.hun.edu.tr>]

Hello,

given the following program:

#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
	printf("%p\n", &optind);
}


I do:

gcc -g a.c
./a.out
nm a.out |grep optind


I see, respectively:

0x80495ac
080495ac B optind@@GLIBC_2.0


After that I do:

gdb a.out
b main
r
p &optind


I see:

$1 = (int *) 0x4014814c,

whereas I expect it to be 080495ac. Naturally, "p optind" displays
another value, too. What is going on?


Thanks in advance,
Baurjan.
