Feature request: dereference pointers in debugger

I am hoping to use this IDE for the C programming course I'm teaching, but the way it treats pointers makes it inadequate.

1. Simply showing the memory address contained in a pointer is not sufficient. A debugger should allow you to see what's at that address without having to set up a watch point.

2. It would be helpful if the debugger showed the address where each variable is stored as most other debuggers do.

3. If a pointer points to a dynamically allocated array, the user should have the option of viewing it as such.

This is a feature request, not a bug. Next time please use the appropriate tracker.

Most of it has already been implemented.
