Neither hardware nor software watch points seem to behave properly, even though both can be set. The watch points can be set but execution never stops when those memory locations are written to or read from. Looking over previous postings it seems like perhaps hardware watch points aren't supported but I'm not even able to get them to work in software. Thanks!
