stop a debugger when a global variable gets modified in c/c++

Hi,

How do I stop the debugger (ddd or even gdb will do) when a global
variable (or a static variable in a function) gets modified ?
Adding a watch on the variable only tells that the variable has
changed but not how.

This is debugger-specific, and does not rely on any language support.
Please ask in a debugger- or platform-specific forum.

Even though you did not quote any context, what you wrote here is enough to
determine that your problem is off-topic in this group. You should take the
question to a forum where ddd or gdb are topical. Please see the FAQ for
suggestions.

Greetings, What are people's thoughts on global variables in C++? Why are we taught not to use them in programming? Is it true that if you are running two copies of the C program one copy can overwrite another copies global variable? I know that you could overwrite a value in a global variable from a function, but you could also do that if you pass the variable in and then out again... so how is that any different?

I've created a class to listen to all interfaces and do a BeginAccept(). Once it gets a connection, it passes the connected socket off and stores it in a List. Next, it continues to listen for more incoming connections and does the BeginAccpet() again. It does an infinite loop this way. My question is: What is the best way to stop this? I thought about putting a boolean in there, but then what if it's still waiting for an incoming...
