I think you should use 'set var b=20'

gdb seems to think b represents a command line option (backtrace or
breakpoint). This tends to happen when trying to set 1-character variables.

If you rename your variable to boy, it should work fine. Or, you can use
print b=50 to set (and view) b.

hi friends ,

   i am running simulavr in the background and then using gdb as the
debugger for my program for the device at90s8515. during debugging process when I type
set b = 50 at the (gdb) prompt , it gves the following error :

           Ambiguous set command  "b=50" ; backtrace , breakpoint

(gdb) print b is working fine .

what can be the reason for this error.( I am using gdb 6.4).
