sorry for the massively OT post but it's 3:30 am where i am, and i'd like to figure this out in the next hour or two. how can i use "gdb" to debug a currently running process *non-intrusively* -- i.e., without attaching to it which causes it to stop, even briefly? i could have sworn there was a way to do that, but my memory is failing me at the moment. assume i have a symbol-laden copy of the executable, and that all i want to do is, in real time, print variable contents as the process continues to run with no interference of the process itself. thanks muchly.
That would violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. :-)
