Hi,
I know that gdb will print non local variable names and file name in
which they are defined ,
when we run 'info variables' command.

Is it possible to print the size of the non local varibles also?
like the size of 'int global[100]' is 400bytes ...like that????

thanks in advance.

Hello Ranjith Kumar,

You could do:

(gdb) print sizeof(global)
$1 = 400

--

- that's an instance of GDB's functionality to evaluate expressions in the source language with the 'print' command.

See 'Examining Data' in the User Manual: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Data.html#Data

Best Regards,
Anmol.
