How to watch a static

[shynchan]

the other day while i'm using vc to watch the value of a static,it's

Error: symbol "i2" not found

#include<iostream> 
using namespace std; 
int main() 
{
    int i=1;
    static int i2=3;
    cout << i << endl;
    cout << i2 << endl;
    return 0;
}

I don't know why i cannot watch it.Is there any other ways to do it?

It works fine for me. What version? Can you really duplicate the problem with that example? I'm using visual c++ express 2008 and I can watch that variable just fine, for the brief amount of time that it exists.

Works fine on gcc as well.

I'm using vc++6.0

The code is valid, the compiler is old. Solution: get a new compiler.

_{(Seriously. VC++ 6.0 is old.)}
