title: gdb cannot access memory from string address
body: <p>I compiled an assembly program with the following variables:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.data
  x: .long 1337
  str: .string "Hallo Welt\n"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In gdb I wanted to use the examine command with the str address.</p>
  
  <pre><code>(gdb) x str
  0x6c6c6148: Cannot access memory at address 0x6c6c6148
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't understand why it doesn't work.</p>
