Re: Subroutine Variables in Debug

[Li Ding <lding@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is current design.  It happens for the subroutine in main procedure. 
Variables view displays the local variables in current scope. Subroutine 
does not define local variables.  Instead of showing nothing, debugger 
displays the local variables of the enclosing subprocedure.  However, the 
subroutine in main procudure is processed differently and no variable is 
displayed. 

There is inconsistent behavior here, for subroutine in main procedure and 
other subprocesures.  We definitely welcome community's feedback for the 
behavior.

I have noticed this as well.  One thing I noticed is that the variables 
view seems to be properly updated if you 'Run to location' to get into the 

subroutine, or break due to a breakpoint that is located in the 
subroutine.
