==> 1.c <==
int
g (int j)
{
  int l = j + 2;
  return l;
}
extern int f (int i);
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  f (1);
  return 0;
}

==> 2.c <==
extern int g (int j);
int
f (int i)
{
  i++;
  g (2);
  return g (i);
}


gcc 1.c 2.s -Wall -o 1 -m32
# Tested with gcc-4.4.3-4.fc12.x86_64 but 1.c -> 2.s is attached precompiled.

Works using 'set can-use-hw-watchpoints 0' workaround:

$ gdb -nx -ex 'set can-use-hw-watchpoints 0' -ex 'b f' -ex r -ex 'p i' -ex
'watch i' -ex 'adv 7' -ex 'p i' ./1
$1 = 1
Watchpoint 2: i
Watchpoint 2: i

Old value = 1
New value = 2
f (i=2) at 2.c:6
6	  g (2);
$2 = 2


Does not work without the workaround:
$ gdb -nx -ex 'b f' -ex r -ex 'p i' -ex 'watch i' -ex 'adv 7' -ex 'p i' ./1
$1 = 1
Hardware watchpoint 2: i
f (i=2) at 2.c:7
7	  return g (i);
$2 = 2
The value has changed but the breakpoint has not triggered.

Maybe location lists could refine the bounds of the scope
used to decide when a watchpoint expression should be
reparsed.
