in the example below; if some x.glink() (where x is an instance of D) enters first, then i may be able to watch foo.narf from glink(), but then the watch may suddenly display the "evaluations must contain an expression..." error message if i trace into B.glunk() with F5:


package A;

public class foo
{
   public static int narf;
...
}

<eof>

package B;
import A.foo;

public class B
{
   public static void glunk()
   {
       // cannot watch foo.narf from here
   }
}

<eof>

package B;
import A.foo;

public class D extends B
{
   public void glink()
   {
      // i may be able to watch foo.narf from here
      B.glunk();   // trace into the call w/ F5
   }
}

this was the general pattern that caused the error, which also occurs if D.glunk() is not declared as static.

      

Reproducible: Always
