local variables and gdb

[John Carnahan]

To all,

I am having a problem with some local variables within a method. At the 
beginning of my method I declare a whole bunch of ints and init them all 
to zero. When I put go into the method with gdb and try to look at the 
variables (using p or display) I get answers to most but consistently, 
for a few, I get --No symbol "fooIndex" in current context.--.  I tried 
just changing the name of that variable but to no avail - so it probably 
is not some kind of name conflict. When I declared that variable as a 
static int, however, then everything worked fine. I thought I'd ask about 
this to see if anyone else had a similar problem before before trying 
usenet.

Thanks, 

John Carnahan
