Hi, maybe you can help me. I have some executable file where I want to
set some variable value using gdb. I know this variable address, and try
to create var-object for accessing. Problem is that gdb sometimes
returns that it cannot create var-object. I try this: -var-create - *
"*(bool *)0x028d7460" and gdb returns "No symbol "bool" in current
context.". I noticed that it depends on dynamic loaded libraries - for
some gdb works fine for others doesn't, but I don't understand why,
because mentioned variable is from executable file not from loaded
libraries. Can you tell me what is wrong?
Regards
Bogdan

Additionally I noticed that if I use (short *) instead of (bool *)
everything is fine What is wrong with 'bool'??

Is it a C or C++ program? GDB doesn't know anything about the bool
type in C, because it's not part of the C language.

It would seem harmless for gdb to recognize bool rather than giving
an error, given it is such standard usage (gdb is not a C compiler,
it does not have to strenuously implement the standard :-))
Or, if you are not willing to make that junk, special casing the
error message might be helpful.
