I have:
int p = 5;
when I debug my code I would like to get a print of p's value therefore I
start gdb and type:
print p
but then I get an error that the variable does not exists!
Hope someone can help!

Type "start" so it runs to main(). print p should work if
p is in scope.

Or perhaps p has been optimised away by the compiler? Be sure and compile
with -O0 so that what you're debugging bears the simplest and most direct
relationship to the source code.
