[SR-Users] Help on how to debug cfg_get variable having unexpected value?

[Malcolm O'Hare]

I'm trying to debug an issue I've encountered where a variable that I've set using kamcmd cfg.set has an unexpected value when used in kamailio.  The variable should be 0 or 1, but it looks like its getting set accidently somehow.

I've tried to debug using gdb using breaks and set a watch on the memory address of the var, but it looks like it keeps using different memory locations.  The value in the address pointed at by group.handle seems to change for each invocation of set_cfg_now, so when I try and put a watch on the address of *group.handle + var.offset it never gets hit.

(gdb) print *group
$36 = {num = 25, mapping = 0x7f56ee4474f0, vars = 0x0, add_var = 0x0, size = 164, meta_offset = 968, var_offset = 984, handle = 0x7f56edf92fd0, orig_handle = 0x0,
  dynamic = 1 '\001', next = 0x0, name_len = 8, name = "f"}

(gdb) print *var
$62 = {def = 0x7f56ee471668, name_len = 23, pos = 24, offset = 164, flag = 0}

Any ideas?
