I'm using sample Code from the Website and I'm trying to debug that code. If
I try to dereference and watch a variable called "http_handle" (typ: CURL),
I get this error: "Attempt to dereference a generic pointer."

I'm compiling with the "-g" flag and I build my library with "-enable-debug
-with-ssl". I'm using GDB.

What is wrong?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <iostream>

/* somewhat unix-specific */

// #include <sys/time.h>

// #include <unistd.h>

/* curl stuff */

#include "curl/curl.h"

/*

 * Simply download two HTTP files!

 */

int main(int argc, char **argv)

{

                CURL *http_handle;

                CURL *http_handle2;

                CURLM *multi_handle;

                int still_running; /* keep number of running handles */

                http_handle = curl_easy_init();

                http_handle2 = curl_easy_init();

                /* set options */

                if(http_handle)

                 {

                     curl_easy_setopt(http_handle, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://www.xxx.eu/");

                 }

                 if(http_handle2)

                {

                     curl_easy_setopt(http_handle2, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://www.xxx.eu/");

}

                /* init a multi stack */

                multi_handle = curl_multi_init();

                /* add the individual transfers */

                curl_multi_add_handle(multi_handle, http_handle);

                curl_multi_add_handle(multi_handle, http_handle2);
