setting strings in gdb
c++, gdb, setting, string, variables
Solution
You can do this:
call a.assign("ok")
This way, gdb knows right away that it needs to call a function (rather than what you tried using `operator=`), it knows what function to call (`std::string::assign`), and it doesn't need to convert types at all (since there's an overload of `assign` which matches exactly).
Problem
c++: ``` int main() { string a = "a"; ... ... } ``` when i debug in gdb: (gdb) set var a = "ok" Invalid cast I run the program and pause at a break point after string a has been initialized. I'm trying to set its value, but it complains about invalid cast. What's the proper syntax for this?
