watchpoints on dynamic memory [message #161598]

Hi

I am trying to debug a c++ program which segfaults somewhere in the
middle of a simulation run. Rather than stepping through the program
until I hit the offending statement I would like to set a watchpoint on
the address that it tries to access.
Afaik this can only be done on global variables. Is that right or did I
miss something?

The option to set a watchpoint on arbitrary expression was available for CDT
2.1.x but it didn't make to the current release for various reasons. We are
considering to bring it back in the next version.
The workaround is to use the gdb console and the "watch", "awatch" and
"rwatch" gdb commands.
