examine memory with gdb
 

I am trying to learn how to handle gdb but the help command in it does not give me much info. What I want to do is to examine the memory after the program has crashed. I want to examine the memory of both the program itself but also its static variables and also the stack.

Regards.

backtrace will tell you the stack.
print expression will tell you the value of a given expression (local or stack variable).

You might look to using a GUI front-end to gdb; I think kdevelop has one. Even xgdb helps as an aide to memory.

It seems that the command I was looking for was x (examine) and now when I can handle it, everything is working out great. :)
