Subject: How do I set a hard watchpoint with gdbserver?
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:31:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <B095CECB368F0946BF407966E809C354061310B817@MAEXCEVS2.ets.enterasys.com> (raw)

I'm using a configuration of gdb and gdbserver. Both the host (gdb) and the target (gdbserver) are running on Linux on Intel 486 or 586 sytstems.

I would like to be able to issue the command:

watch *(int*)addr

and have it set a "hard" watchpoint on the target. What seems to happening is that a soft watchpoint is being set since when I continue everything seems to hang until I ^C and remove the watchpoint.

How do I persuade gdbserver to set a hard watchpoint rather than a soft watchpoint? Breakpoints work fine in that they get set hard.

Thanks,

Dave Garrod
