I'm not sure what you are talking about. This discussion mentioned
two different aspects of watchpoints: I wanted the watchpoints on
automatic variables defined in `main' to not be deleted when the
program exits, and Vlad was talking about automatic variables in
general (which hits the problem with recursive invocations of the same
function). I submit that the former is how GDB should behave, and
that the fact it doesn't today is a misfeature, unrelated to the GUI
state. To a programmer, automatic variables in `main' are almost
indistinguishable from static variables, so watchpoints on both kinds
should behave the same.
