Title: Debug watches and local variables in 12.11
Post by: mirai on June 19, 2013, 01:04:11 pm

In previous versions of C::B watch window was preloaded with local variables which were automatically changing with the stack frame, now it seems to be gone. Is there a way to make the recent release of C::B behave like the other one before? I need an overview of entire stack frame. The overhead of adding all locals manually every time is way too large. New pop-up window for variables is nice, however, this is not an equivalent replacement for the old feature.

Search the forum about this and you'll get some explanations you won't be happy about  :P

I don't know what good reasons you people had for this revolution, but now I'm forced to downgrade my C::B and stick with an older version that WORKS.

We have a patch available that brings back this functionality. However, as oBFusCATed mentioned - it was error prone (due to the GDB interface) so thats's why we didn't re-implement it in the first place.

@oBFusCATed: Did you find the time to test the patch? Maybe we should apply it in trunk with a big-letter-red-labled "WARNING"...
