Subject: Variable locations in a loaded kernel (bsd.gdb)
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2001 09:14:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.10.10108271155200.8901-100000@verne.xiphos.ca> (raw)
Gidday there,
I'm trying to find how a specific variable is referenced in an
OpenBSD 2.8 kernel. I build a kernel with symbols, and load it into gdb,
however I can't find a way to see where a specific variable is stored
(stack, memory, register etc...). I can't run the kernel, and when I type
'p function::variable' it responds with...
No frame is currently executing in block scpshc_decompress.
Once I have the offset, or address or whatever about the variable,
then I can examine its value in 'ddb' after the kernel crashes.
Thanks in advance. I'm running GDB 4.16.1. The 'configure'
script doesn't let me compile version 5 on OBSD2.8.
Joshua
