|
<dd><p>Prevent <small>GDB</small> from attempting to evaluate objects whose size
|
|
is above the given limit (<var>size</var>) when those sizes are computed
|
|
from run-time quantities. This is typically the case when the object
|
|
has a variable size, such as an array whose bounds are not known at
|
|
compile time for example. Setting <var>size</var> to <code>unlimited</code>
|
|
removes the size limitation. By default, the limit is about 65KB.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The purpose of having such a limit is to prevent <small>GDB</small> from
|
|
trying to grab enormous chunks of virtual memory when asked to evaluate
|
|
a quantity whose bounds have been corrupted or have not yet been fully
|
|
initialized. The limit applies to the results of some subexpressions
|
|
as well as to complete expressions. For example, an expression denoting
|
|
a simple integer component, such as <code>x.y.z</code>, may fail if the size of
|
|
<code>x.y</code> is variable and exceeds <code>size</code>. On the other hand,
|
|
<small>GDB</small> is sometimes clever; the expression <code>A(i)</code>, where
|
|
<code>A</code> is an array variable with non-constant size, will generally
|
|
succeed regardless of the bounds on <code>A</code>, as long as the component
|
|
size is less than <var>size</var>.
