Hi,
what's the best way to "freeze" a variable object, so that it's current
value is saved, and is not changed on any -var-update invocation?
I need this in order to implement a functionality where user can remember
the current value of an expression for future reference. I'd expect the
user to still be able to open composite object (using -var-list-children),
so saving just textual representation I not enough.
I can get the desired effect with:
print expression
-var-create $NNN
where $NNN is the history item, but am I supposed to use CLI command for
that?
