Hi !

sdb has variable$m which steps the program until _variable_ is modified.
Is there a similar function i gdb ?

From the gdb manual I found out that gdb have got conditional
breakpoints but as far as I can find out that's not the same.
gdb's conditional breakpoints seems to stop at a *specified* position *if*
the condition is true and that's not what I want. I would like gdb to stop
*when* the condition *becomes* true.

Tore.
