I have a program I was testing with gdb. I was trying to figure out why c.rmonths was always zero when it should have been 6. Stepped through using the gdb n command. Here is the output:

(gdb)
215                             c.rmonths = (edate - tdate) / toMONTHS;
(gdb)
223                     c.dial_in = u.dial_in[0];
(gdb)
224                     c.dsl = u.dsl[0];
(gdb) p c.rmonths
$1 = 0
(gdb) p c
$2 = {fa = 0, pwp = 0, disp_email = 0, imonths = 0, rmonths = 6,
  type = 73 'I', cd = 0 '\0', dial_in = 82 'R', dsl = 0 '\0',
  dsl_kit = 0 '\0', ip = 0 '\0', domain = 0 '\0', n_domain = 0 '\0',
  renewal = 89 'Y', program = "I\000\000"}
(gdb) p c->rmonths
$3 = 6
(gdb) p c.rmonths
$4 = 6


Notice, the first time i print it its zero. The second time its 6. What gives here? I have seen this before but couldn't pin it down. The program is not compiled with any optimization. It is in a shared library though.
