This change alone is so small it's harmless. More generally though, it's l= ess about doing more complicated things with varobjs and more about not duplica= ting effort. Next time Andr=E9 finds that his tooltips don't work as he would w= ish, he will submit another patch for -data-evaluate-expression. If others are using variable objects they will see no benefit unless they create a similar patch. And the same holds the other way around. --=20 Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nick= rob
