I have a really weird problem with variable watch. The values in it change to really weird not assigned value's. char array's of private assign variables sometimes become bad pointers, or suddenly contain junk instead of the previous line assigned text. But the weiredest thing is the do have the correct data when printed to screen or file.
It makes my debugging realy hard because I never know the real data in my vars. Anyone know what might cause it?

Are you sure ur compiling in debug mode?
If not, the release mode has probably the optimized flag set to 2 (or 3), which means I think optimize speed (or size) of executable.

Which further means that some instructions are changed in the order they are executed in assembly language. and therefore debuging doesn't work anymore synchronous with your source code.

Thanks alot. It was indeed the problem. I was ready to rip my hair out, I never thought of it, because I put it in release to avoid the defaultlib LIBC conflicts. But thanks a whole bunch for fixing this for me.

To get rid of the defaultlib conflict you can do the following:

go to Project->Properties

Linker->Command Line

in the text field of "additional options" insert this:


This should get rid of the warning message.
