This does not meet the task requirements, because “You may not invoke a separate evaluator program…unless…that program…are considered part of your language/library/platform”, and gdb is not part of C. I would almost suggest adding it anyway for the amusement value, but I would not want the page to become cluttered with more not-about-practical-evaluation-and-not-enlightening-about-the-language answers. Good work anyway! —[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 01:22, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

== Evaluation vs. invocation ==


Maybe we should rename this. It looks like many of the solutions are about evaluation of an expression at runtime, rather than invocation of another program. This is probably because we have used the term "evaluation" in the title. Maybe this would be better named as "Invoke another program". [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 18:59, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
