Subject: Is it possible to access shadowed variables?
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 19:36:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <F7CE05678329534C957159168FA70DEC572E5B34B0@EUSAACMS0703.eamcs.ericsson.se> (raw)

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out a way to deal with shadowed
variables in Eclipse.  But I can't find a way to
access them from GDB.

If I'm at line 3 of:  

int a = 1; //line 1
{
  bool a = true; // line 3
}

The only thing I found is to use
-stack-list-locals 2
which will show me both variables with their types
and both their values.

-stack-list-locals 2
^done,locals=[{name="a",type="bool",value="true"},
              {name="a",type="int",value="1"}]

Anything else I can do to tell GDB I want access to
some shadowed variable?

Note that floating variable objects don't help
(I think) because I'm already at line 3 by the
time I create the varObject, so it will point
to the inner-most variable.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Marc
