Hi all,
I need to read a variable value with a breakpoint. I use gdb. I stopped my application with a breakpoint and now I need to read a value of a variable, but I don't know how.
Thank you!

Me! Me! I can answer this one! :)
Place the cursor over the variable's name. If the variable is accessible at the time (i.e. if it's a global variable or a variable that the compiler's optimising hasn't overwritten, the value of the variable will show in a box.
Alternately, you can use the watches. View->Debug Windows->Watches. Right click to add your variable(s).
To the excellent reply of Dave I'd added only Run->Evaluate/Modify window when you placed the caret at the variable, also accessible by Ctrl-F4 with classic Delphi keyset (possibly the same in others, anyway you can the the key assigned in the menu item)
