Right click on the variables view, and select "add global variables". You then need to select which globals you want to display.

I would like to report a possible bug in this view.

I have created a global variable and added it to variables view. Then I removed the variable from my source code and did not remove it from the view.
I have other variables too in the view.
The problem is that none of the variables that are after the variable I deleted from my source code are beeing refreshed.

See the selected variable value = 12, then down it is showing 13 '\r'.

Renan,

If you remove all globals from the view, and add them back again - does that solve the problem?

If not, can you try removing the "--gc-sections" option from the link step of your build and seeing if that helps?

When I remove the variable that I removed from my source, stop debuging and restart debuging it solves. I will try your way too.

I'm already not using this option.

In my case, the global variables option is grayed out. I will try the "--gc-sections" option.

If the global variables option is greyed out in the Variables view, then you could try closing the variables view, then reopening it from the "Window -> Show view" menu.

This should reset the variables view, and you should then hopefully be able to add your global variables to it.

SOLVED!
The trick was to eliminate the '--gc-sections' from the linker. After that, close the variables tab and re-open the variables tab, then the option to add global variables is enabled.

thanks!
