I am using vsCode and I would like to know if it is possible to stop the debugger when the value of a variable changes.

I am analyzing code that I have not written and would like see where a certain boolean variable gets changed from false to true.

Is this possible?

CodePudding user response：

This will work by doing into the debug console and typing gdb commands. In this case:

-exec watch myVariable

or by getting the location in memory &myVariable in the watch window.

Copy the location in memory (e.g., 0x555...) and in the debug console type:

-exec watch *memoryLocationOfVariable

Click to the left of the line of code you want then press debug to manually move through each line of code you have selected.
