How to access target of std::tr1::shared_ptr in GDB

Question

How can I access target of a std::tr1::shared_ptr in GDB. This doesn\'t work:

(gdb) p sharedPtr->variableOfTarget

If I try with the pointer

Answer 1

Answer first:

p *frame._M_ptr # frame is the shared_ptr's name

I tried p (*frame.get()), but it didn't work(frame is my shared_ptr name)

(gdb) p frame
$4 = std::shared_ptr (count 2, weak 0) 0x2ea3080
(gdb) p (*frame.get())
Cannot evaluate function -- may be inlined

then I tried to get what's in this shared_ptr, then I found this

(gdb) p frame.
_M_get_deleter  __shared_ptr    operator*       reset           unique          ~shared_ptr     
_M_ptr          get             operator->      shared_ptr      use_count       
_M_refcount     operator bool   operator=       swap            ~__shared_ptr   

I used it's _M_ptr field, it worked.

(gdb) p *frame._M_ptr 
$5 = {
...
}

I used std::shared_ptr, and gdb 7.6.
