Sorry for jumping in--I wasn't following this thread--but changing the
way the lazy flag is set might affect the hardware watchpoints, at
least on x86 targets. The current code which checks whether a given
value can be watched by hardware watchpoint(s) and the code which
inserts the watchpoints assume that those parts of the value chain
which have their lazy flag set don't need to be watched. This allows
to watch members of large structs and array elements without watching
the whole struct/array.
If the issue you were discussing has no relation to that problem, I
apologize.
