Re: Viewing the address of an array in gdb

["Mahmood Naderan via gdb" <gdb at sourceware dot org>]

Yes you are right. It picked the glibc symbol name "buffer". 
No matters. I will change the name. I thought there is something wrong with the buffer I defined.
Thank you very much.

If you can't change the program, you can work around this by
unloading the shared library symbols, so that gdb sees the
program's symbol again.  E.g.:
