Re: Nexted function context

[Vincent De Groote <vincent dot degroote at encelade dot com>]

I just made a simple example:


#include <stdio.h>

int main ( int argc, char ** argv ) {

 int add_something ( int value ) {

   int result;

   if ( value < 10 )
     result = value + 10;
   else
     result = value - 10;

   return ( result );
 }

 int i;

 for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ )
   printf ("%d\n", add_something ( i ));

 return (0);
}


when single stepping into add_something function,
doing "p value" or "p result" reports the same message "No symbol "xxxxx" 
in current context".

I also looked for a way of setting a breakpoint into a nested function, but 
never succeeds.

Thanks
