I think I can propose a workaround. As far as I know the symbol is generated from the module name and the variable name:
$ nm a.out |grep dummy 0000000000600d88 D __dummy__m 00000000004007e0 t frame_dummy Here, "__dummy__m" seems to be the considered variable. Let's try it: $ gdb ... (gdb) p alpha $1 = 0.300000012 (gdb) p __dummy__m $2 = 3 (gdb) quit $ So you can use nm and grep to find the symbol you need. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
