title: Watchpoint a fixed address
body: <p>For my current embedded application I am trying to put GDB watch point at a fixed memory address.</p>
  
  <p>As an example, my application updates the following address: 0x10793ad0. In order to be sure which part of the code is corrupting the value, I tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>watch 0x10793ad0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Even though GDB does not print any error after this, it is not able to break during execution even though I verified the value is getting modified at between start and end of execution.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Questions:</strong></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Can I really put watch at a fixed address? I didn't come across any such example online.</li>
  <li>Is this the right way or am I missing something?</li>
  </ol>
