gdb prints wrong values when modifying arguments

by

I searched on gcc bugzilla and found this bug report :

Althoug the report is about gcc 4.8 and I’m using 4.7, I tried the proposed workaround and it works !

Compiling with -fvar-tracking allows GDB to print the correct value for b after assignment.
