Even adb can get at global variables! We use bedbug(1). It knows C well. Mail the author ...!decvax!mulga!brucee:basser for details. I'm really stumped how people can give their opinion about subjects on which they apparently don't know a thing. Dbx and sdb are perfectly capable of accessing global variables (for dbx 'print variable' will do it). Have you considered that the person who asked the question just hadn't read the manual nor asked a friend before posting?
