[feature request] a watch drop down

[rgeddes]

similar to the "Watch" in the Chrome Dev Tools to evaluate variables and expressions during a debug session

Unfortunately delve does not really provide something like this. It has something similar called print which lets you execute any code in the command line and print the result. This is not available in go-debug yet.

Does this fit your needs?

Ideally, having access to all scopes and their associated variable states is preferable. This gives me what I call "scope awareness" and is helpful, in particular, when dealing with someone else's code. My experience is that some coders explain their code in a way that is inconsistent with my observation, and the only way to resolve these situations is with a good debugger.

Javascript, C++, PHP, and Java debuggers I've used in the past ( with the eclipse ide/chrome dev tools ) do a good job of this.

A debugger is also a good learning tool, as it will confirm/refute my understanding of what the code is doing.

A print statement would definitely help.

I'm currently adding a "repl" to go-debug which pretty much uses the same functionality that would be required for this feature.
