Prevent gdb from stopping at watchpoints -

file main.c:

#include <stdio.h>  int main() {     int i;     (i=0; i<30 ;i++) {             printf ("%d\n", i);     }     return 0; } 

in gdb, set breakpoint, specify watchpoint command executed on breakpoint:

(gdb) break main breakpoint 1 @ 0x4004b0: file main.c, line 6. (gdb) command type commands when breakpoint 2 hit, 1 per line. end line saying "end". >watch >end 

execution gonna stop whenever watched variable changed, problem there no way(to knowledge) tell gdb print value of watched variable , continue because nested watchpoint. if standalone watchpoint done using command 'continue' (when i'm in scope if main()):

(gdb) watch hardware watchpoint 2: (gdb) command type commands when breakpoint 2 hit, 1 per line. end line saying "end". >continue >end 

so, there way gdb not stop on nested watchpoint, , print value change? or better yes, specify commands executed on nested watch/breakpoints?

i further tried 'set complaints 0' , 'set confirm off' in gdb no avail

gdb has no concept of nested watchpoints. breakpoints , watchpoints @ top level, regardless of you've set them.

here want:

(gdb) break main breakpoint 1 @ 0x40052c: file t.c, line 6. (gdb) commands >watch >commands  >c  >end >c >end 

this sets command list on breakpoint 1:

watch continue 

and separate command list on watchpoint (when created):

continue
