Re: Static variables incorrect address

I would tend to agree with Mike.  I have used this feature with lots of 
different cases.  It works very nicely with both C and C++.  plus, you dont' 
even have to issue the run command.  You can lookup the address right after 
the startup.

There was once a problem with static member variables like these inside C++ 
namepsaces.  But that was fixed in 5.1
