I was trying to set a breakpoint on a heap struct variable programmatically: when a function is called, set a watchpoint to the memory pointed by one of its arguments. However, doing awatch *0xDEADBEEF
, as expected watches when the struct is used explicitly; awatch *(my_struct*)0xDEADBEEF
watches whenever something writes in my variable memory; however, I'd expect awatch -l my_struct
to work as one of these two. However, it gives a weird behavior and seems to break in random places.
Are awatch *(my_struct*)0xDEADBEEF
and awatch -l my_struct
supposed to do the same thing?
