Description Marc Khouzam CLA 2015-11-03 10:27:42 EST 
1- launch a debug session
2- create a valid watchpoint and make sure it gets installed
3- restart the program (using the DV context menu)
=> the watchpoint is not installed (bug 481328)
4- step until we reach the same scope as were the watchpoint is valid
5- disable then re-enable the watchpoint

=> the watchpoint does not get installed

Disabling then re-enabling a watchpoint could be a the workaround to bug 481328 which does not automatically install existing watchpoints after a launch, but this workaround does not work after a restart because of the current bug.
