>What I'm reading doesn't say it is for C++, and the breakpoint menu has the option for condition/changed. It sounds like it ought to work, but it doesn't seem to break when the condition is changed. I'm thinking there must be a specific type of statement that this will work with (not assignment or declaration so far), but I haven't got it yet.
The breakpoint only gets hit if the line it is on executes. It will tell you if a value *has* changed since the last time the line executed - but that is of limited use and won't help to tell you *when* it changed.
