Set gdb breakpoint by address with gdb python

Question

into GDB python I tried gdb.Breakpoint('0xaaaa')

I got error

Function 0xaaaa is not defided . Breakpoint 5(0xaaaa) pending

and the program not break at this address.

Why is that?

Answer 1

You just need to prefix the address with a '*', like when using break.

For example:

(gdb) python
>gdb.Breakpoint('*0x080487ff')
>end
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80487ff
(gdb)
