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

[call_me_anything]

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.
