Re: [cdt-dev] Memory monitors in CDT4.0.2

[John Cortell <john.cortell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This and the watchpoint is just an extension of existing 
functionality. Users have the same level of functionality as they did 
before, though there is the new GUI to contend with. I'm not sure how 
it's a hazard. I think it's pretty obvious a user can just enter an 
expression as they have been doing all along.

There is no way to switch this off.
