Today I tried to set a conditional breakpoint in my program when a string variable is assigned one specific value:
b foo.c:488 if (int)strcmp(foo, "foo") == 0
But unfortunately, the gdb will exit with following error:
Unable to restore previously selected frame:
Selected thread is running.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'
Aborted
After checking in stackoverflow, I found gdb‘s convenience functions. So using $_streq instead of strcmp:
b foo.c:488 if $_streq(foo, "foo")
The gdb works like a charm!
