You can probably use expressions. [to look at global variables]
Yeah, but that would be a pain!
But it shouldn't be!

I think you misunderstand what I was trying to say. However, it shouldn't be so hard to use expressions though.


It's a pain to use expressions for viewing global variables. I would have to enter the name of the global variable I want to view (whether by copy and past or manually typing it). I then have to delete it from the list when I'm done with it. A whole lot harder than just glancing at a list of global variables referenced in the function active in the debugger.

I have a bug in about being able to paste and easily edit expressions in the expressions window.. rdar://4805631

Yes, you should be able to use such simple supposed to be standard features in Apples dev tools. So, I totally agree here.


I think fixing the expressions window is of extreme importance, mind you I haven't looked at how it is in leopard.. feel free to "vote" if you agree!

Yeah, I don't have Leopard either (though I wish I could by early as an advantage of having an ADC account [not select or premier]), so I can't do that as well.


One thing I know I'm going to love is the ability to hover over expressions in the source code and see the value. This ability was in CodeWarrior and I used it alot.

David Alger
