[gnu.gdb.bug] Break on condition

grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu (Dirk Grunwald) (07/03/89)

Am I high, or did GDB at one point have the invaluable ``break when a
variable changes'' command wherein a variable would be evaluated at
each line (or, preferrably, a line number within a specific range) to
determine if a break should be done?

I know of the existing break on condition; that solves part of the
problem.  A more basic feature, allowing the ``break when a variable
changes'' to be implemented via a defined function would be a way to
specify multiple locations for a single break w/condition. Perhaps a
range of line-numbers or something.
