I can't seem to watch any local variables, only globals - I assume this is a bug, because it's unimaginable to me that you can't look at the value of a local. But for example, if you run the following code, and put a breakpoint on the first line of the function localVarTest ("localVariable = 1;"), you always see the status of localVariable as "Not available" - even as you step through the code that modifies the variable.

I can look at globalVariable just fine, but there's no way I'm using exclusively global vars in my code.

Anyway, I created the simplest example I could to demonstrate the problem:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

var globalVariable = 10;

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


function localVarTest()
{
var localVariable;

localVariable = 1; // can't watch this var
localVariable++; // still can't watch it
}

function main()
{
globalVariable++; // I can watch this just fine
localVarTest();
}

Doh! Never mind, this is explained in the "Migration to Lite C" section of the manual - it's expected behavior, you have to temporarily replace locals with a global variable, e.g., temp = myLocalVar;

Sorry to waste everybody's bandwidth on this.

I am glad to find this thread at last !
It is not obvious to find this in the manual.

Thanks Bob !
