When using the debugger the watches window does not display global variables - only local variables and function arguments.  Any one know of a way to make this display?

You should manually add the global variables you want to watch.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Right-click on the watch window and use the "Add Watch" option to enter the name of the global you are interested in.
