printing ip addresses using gdb

Question

I am debugging a networking code and want to print ip addresses which are declared as int32. when i print it using gdb print command, i get some values which is not much meaningful.

How can i possibly print them in meaningful format?

Answer 1

Make a function that calls inet_ntoa, and then call it with the 'p' command in gdb on your int.

Answer 2

Just use inet_ntoa(3) as so:

(gdb) p (char*)inet_ntoa(0x01234567)  # Replace with your IP address
$1 = 0xa000b660 "103.69.35.1"
