Compiling with -Ox (x > 0) changes the layout of the symbols in the memory.
If you want to access a structure field, refer to it explicitly in the probe argument.

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Introduction}
\begin{itemize}
\item{\gdb{}: \gnu{} project's Debugger \pause{} (it is \textbf{not} a \textit{database}...). Supports several programming languages.}

\item{\verb|#> gcc -g program.c -o program|}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{The core of the file}
\begin{itemize}
\item{\texttt{corefile}s are ``frozen images'' of a certain point of execution inside a program.}
\pause
\item{To generate one on \gdb{}, at any time:}
\begin{itemize}
\item{\verb|(gdb) generate-core-file|}

\item{If you are seeing a segmentation fault, enable the \texttt{corefile} generation in your \texttt{shell}:}

\item{And then open the \texttt{corefile} on \gdb{}:}
\begin{itemize}
\item{\verb|#> gdb program core.12345|}
\end{itemize}
\pause
\item{Inside \gdb{}, almost everything works. You can print variables, request a \texttt{backtrace}, change the current \texttt{frame}. You just cannot ``resurrect'' the program (i.e., execute it from that point) \verb|:-)|.}
