View Constants in GDB: Linux Debug Guide

To view constants in gdb, you can use the command “p” (short for print). The specific steps are as follows:

  1. Enter “gdb” in the terminal and specify the executable file you want to debug, for example: gdb executable_file.
  2. Set a breakpoint using the “b” command to pause the program at a specified location, for example: “b main”.
  3. Initiate program execution by using the r command or simply pressing the Enter key.
  4. When the program is paused, input the command “p” and specify the name of the constant you want to view, for example: p constant_name.

Here is a specific example:

  1. Type “gdb” in the terminal and specify the executable file you want to debug, for example: gdb my_program
  2. Set a breakpoint with the b command, for example: b main.
  3. Start the program execution by entering the command “r” or pressing the Enter key.
  4. When the program is paused, enter the command “p” and specify the constant name you want to view, for example: p MY_CONSTANT.

Please note that the names of constants need to be modified according to the actual code.
