Subject: The 'x' command: size problem
Date: Tue, 06 Sep 2005 15:04:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dfkaub$n1c$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
Hello!
Suppose I want to print, in binary, content of some large object (for
example, network packet header).
I can use this:
x /154 &packet
Assuming 154 is the size of the object, but neither:
x /sizeof(packet) &packet
nor
set $size = sizeof(packet)
x /$size &packet
works. In fact, the x_command function in printcmd.c expects the the size
argument be always given as literal.
This limitation makes it somewhat harder to implement "show this
variable/expression in binary" command in a GUI. Are there any easy
workarounds?
