Description Egor Ushakov 2011-03-18 11:59:02 UTC
steps to reproduce:
- create welcome sample
- step into
- open variables tab
- change argc value to 7
- switch to any other tab and then back to variables
it will show argc value as 5
Comment 1 Alexander Pepin 2011-03-21 14:21:32 UTC
Such behavior misleads the user as (s)he can see two different values of the same variable simultaneously.  I believe it should be fixed by FCS.
Comment 2 Alexander Pepin 2011-03-21 17:59:32 UTC
Another scenario (string values are not updated):
- create Quote sample
- set breakpoints in lines 133 and 67
- create a watch for customerName
- start debugging
- enter any string e.g. "aaa", debugger stops in line 133
- open Variables, it shows "aaa" for both the watch and variable (customerName)
- do continue, debugger stops in line 67, Variables view is updated according to context
- do continue and enter "zzz", debugger stops in line 133
- open Variables
Result: Watch for "customerName" shows "zzz" whereas a variable "customerName" remains "aaa".

Comment 3 Egor Ushakov 2011-03-24 08:43:51 UTC
on every variables tab open (or select) we request locals and update them with values they had in the beginning of the current frame (as gdb reports)
Comment 4 Egor Ushakov 2011-03-24 13:09:46 UTC
correction:
locals work fine, the problem is only with current function arguments
Comment 5 Egor Ushakov 2011-03-25 11:17:16 UTC
fixed in trunk:
http://hg.netbeans.org/cnd-main/rev/75ccaaa8292d
Comment 6 Alexander Pepin 2011-03-25 17:48:29 UTC
The second scenario (Comment #2) is still reproducible in dev build 5032.
Comment 7 Egor Ushakov 2011-03-26 06:25:00 UTC
fixed in:
http://hg.netbeans.org/cnd-main/rev/c47d27252549
Comment 8 Quality Engineering 2011-03-28 08:49:28 UTC
