gdb如何确定内存 已经释放_gdb如何用来监视整个内存区域的任何变化？

For example, can I break on any change to memory in an address range from to ?

How about reads and/or writes?

On Linux/x86, GDB uses the processor debug registers to implement hardware watchpoints. Such watchpoints are fast -- the program runs at full speed, until the processor stops and signals the application when the access or write watchpoint is triggered.

But such watchpoints can only work on 1-word sized data.

Recent Valgrind versions (SVN, but no released versions) implement GDB remote protocol stub, and allow you to set read or write watchpoints over arbitrary memory via special monitor commands.

So if you are on a platform that has Valgrind, and if your application runs acceptably fast under Valgrind, then yes: you can set watchpoints on arbitrary memory regions.
