  • Online approaching a field of a global structure via telnet

    Hi
    I have in my code a big global structure with many fields.
    I want to connect the running program via telnet, and online approaching a field of this structure.
    I tried:
    My_Struct.field_1
    and I got: "C Interp: Syntex Error"
    Is there an easy way of doing it? (without approaching directly to the memory trying digging the correct adress).
    Thanks

    No, the C shell interpreter does not understand struct. Only a full debugger will know that feild_1 in your example in an offset from the pointer My_Struct. If My_Struct is global it will be in the symbol table.
    feild_1 = 12
    printf "%d\n", * (My_Struct+feild_1)
