I'm not an expert at that. I've tried set write on, then p *(unsigned
long *)0x8049a5c = 0x4e5f068 -- this does change the value, albeit x/2x
0x08049a57 issued after that shows a bit different value.
If you share the motivation and the details about the extent of the
modifications you want to make, perhaps someone could suggest another
way to do that.
With kind regards,
