Hi, can anybody tell me how to set memory value from gdb? Suppose I want to set bool variable using memory, I tryied '-var-create - * *0x0289add0-0x0289add1' and next: '-var-assign var1 1' but I got: 'Left operand of assignment is not an lvalue' How can I do it properly?
Try *(short *)0x0289add0.  I believe the "TBD" marker in the manual
means the syntax it describes doesn't exist yet.  We should decide if
we want it, or get rid of the documentation for it.

Is there any possibility to set memory bit by bit? Suppose I want to set some larger area than short or long, can I do this using gdb?

PS. What does "TBD" mean?
