Do we get all the context info right? Watchpoints on globals, as right as breakpoints. Watchpoints on locals, no, you're just out of luck. I don't think there's much to do there; GDB gets rid of those on process start/exit, so users are used to those not being very "persistanteable". OTOH, it may be useful to be able to dump watchpoints on locals, and be able to load them up when you know it's okay, so never dumping those isn't that great either. So, IMO, we shouldn't worry much about those, at least, in this first patch. :-) I could add a note to the manual, perhaps. -- Pedro Alves
