Basically if move "up" and "down" between frames and then display the register contents with "info reg" do I see ALL the register captured in that frame or just the registers which are "push" on the stack within the source code? Also, will optimization affect register values such that even if they are not marked "" by gdb their values will still be readable but unreliable? Thanks Ivan ps. I am reading a core file with its binary with the command: arm-gdb ProcessBin coreFile
