I was thinking about defining a gdb command along the lines of

though I've never done that before, so I'm not sure if that would work ;)
It might work but I think you'd probably end up tracking the heat death of the universe before you'd see a result. :-)
Then you better prepare to die. ;)
Actually, I've seen a result as soon as I let the macro lose. It turns out that someverhere between
(1) (gdb) p *(long*) findJarFiles $1=something (gdb) b main (gdb) run break point in main reached (2)(gdb) p *(long *) findJarFiles $2=somethingElse
(1) and (2) the object code of findJarFiles is changed, i.e. even before the program starts at all. *Now* I'm really puzzled.
Any idea how to debug that? What could it be that's invoked before main that modifies object code?
cheers, dalibor topic
