GDB: break if variable equal value

Question

I like to make GDB set a break point when a variable equal some value I set, I tried this example:

#include 
main()
{ 
     int i = 0;
     fo         


        

Answer 1

You can use a watchpoint for this (A breakpoint on data instead of code).

You can start by using watch i.
Then set a condition for it using condition i == 5

You can get the breakpoint number by using info watch
