>Description:
Very often I need to set watch points on integers
specified by memory location, not by expression.
Instead of
watch expression
I have to do:
p expression
p &expression
watch *(address-of-expression printed above)
It would be great to have a shorthand command for that,
a command that says:
watch_at_memory_location expression
If that is possible, it would be very helpful.
