Description frank musolf CLA 2004-09-09 05:12:06 EDT 
hi,

i remember for a good feature of microsoft visual c++ debugger and perhaps is 
this a nice idea for eclipse. 
in visual c++ debugger exists a optional feature to show automaticly all last 
used variables on a breakpoint. inclusive member variables.

at the moment it is nessesary to search member variables by hand to show her 
content. it is a little bit elaborately.

Can you elaborate on the feature request with an example, the details are not 
clear to me - i.e. what are "all last used variables". Currently marking as 
later.

it is possible now in the variable-view of debugging perspective to see all the 
variables of current scope. 

It would be much more convinient to have them resorted every time just before 
and after they were accessed either for reading or writing. 
This affects also the member variables, so you could see them without clicking 
on "this" first. i.e.:

code:                           view:

private String a = null;
...

before execution:
void setValue(String b)
{                               String this.a = null;
  a = b;                        String b = "abc";
}

after execution:                String this.a = "new value";
                                String b = "abc"
                                ...
                                [+] this

value of this.a is double in view, one as single line, one in expand list of 
this variable.
