You can try GDB watch command. However, as stated by this link :

Warning: In multi-thread programs, watchpoints have only limited usefulness. With the current watchpoint implementation, GDB can only watch the value of an expression in a single thread.

If that's a deal breaker for you, I guess you will have to instrument your code to manually track changes.
