I can barely guess what your question means.

Maybe your question implies enough incorrect assumptions that it doesn't mean anything.

But the answer to my guess at what it means is:

Ordinary temporary variables are stored in registers and in the stack frame. Those (and other kinds of temporary variables) can be examined and modified during the execution of a program using a debugger, such as gdb.
