Here, the function foo is as defined in Program 18.5.
You can assign values to an array or structure by listing them inside a set of curly
braces, as follows:
(gdb) print array
$14 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
(gdb) set var array = {100, 200}
(gdb) print array
$15 = {100, 200, 0, 0} Unspecified values set to zero
(gdb) print today
$16 = {
month = 10,
day = 11,
year = 2004
}
(gdb) set var today={8, 8, 2004}
(gdb) print today
$17 = {
month = 8,
day = 8,
year = 2004
}
(gdb)
