How to fetch a struccture elements from a core file

Masthan — Tue, 26 May 2009 10:54:28 GMT

Hi All,

From the core file I am able to fetch the structure address, is there a way to fetch (by typecasting so) the elements of structure?

Thanks,
Masthan

If you have the address and the format of structure you can go on using x/x or x/s etc to print invidual members on the offset addresses. Just be aware of the alinments :-).

Sure if you have debug info:
p *(struct foo*)hex-address
