Hello All

(Sorry for such a basic question; very probably there are some GDB tricks
that I ignore).

In my MELT branch I have now some corrputed memory (maybe because I am
inserting a pass at the wrong place in the pass tree). At some point, I call
bb_debug, and it crashes because the field bb_next contains 0x101 (which is
not a valid adress).

So I need to understand who is writing the 0x101 in that field.

How do you folks debug such issues. 

An obvious strategy is to use the hardware watchpoint feature of GDB.
However, one cannot nicely put a watchpoint on an address which is not
mmap-ed yet.

But I don't know how to ask gdb to be notified when a given adress is
becoming valid in the address space. Putting a breakpoint on mmap is really
not funny.

Any hints are welcome!

Cheers
