Debugger doesnt show me global variables

[global]

hi,
I have codeblocks on windows 10/64bit and compile c-code with "gnu gcc compiler".

When I debug my programs and I want to know how the values of the variables change, watches only show me the local variables, but no global variables.

For example in this program:

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int a=3;

int main()
{
    printf("test");
    return 0;
}

When I debug it, select the line "int a=3", make rightclick on it and click on "Watch int a=3;" I get this message in the watches window:
A syntax error in expression, near `a=3;'.

This happens with every global variable.

And also when I have in a function/procedure an array as an argument, it doesnt show me the values of the array, it seems to just show me the memory adress.

Can someone help?
thanks.

Just add 'a' as watch, not the whole expression.
