ABSTRACT:
When an expression is first entered into a debugger, the expression may be automatically evaluated. Later, when the debugger detects an action that causes the value of the expression to become stale, the expression may be reevaluated with a setting to disable the automatic reevaluation of certain designated disabled expressions. The disabled expressions may be expressions such as, for example, explicit expressions, which are more likely to result in side effects. Alternatively, for even greater protection against side effects, the disabled expressions may include both explicit and implicit expressions.
