Steps To Reproduce:


More information:
This may vary depending on how you implement your back-end debugger but the attach patch just makes a one line change to get the address from the stack frame instead of just getting the variable value. 

There was a comment suggesting there was a better way to do this, maybe this is it? 

It works for the Carbide debugger at least, where previously if you tried to view memory the address would be the value of the variable not the address of the variable. Because of this I set the severity to critical.
