@code{font-lock-warning-face} to highlight values that have recently
changed and @code{shadow} face to make variables which have gone out of
scope less noticeable.  When a variable goes out of scope you can't
edit its value.

@vindex gdb-use-colon-colon-notation
  If the variable @code{gdb-use-colon-colon-notation} is
non-@code{nil}, Emacs uses the @samp{@var{function}::@var{variable}}
format.  This allows the user to display watch expressions which share
the same variable name.  The default value is @code{nil}.

@vindex gdb-delete-out-of-scope
  If the variable @code{gdb-delete-out-of-scope} is
non-@code{nil} (the default value), Emacs automatically deletes watch
expressions which go out of scope.  This is safest because GDB may
think that a variable in a new frame is an old one that previously
went of of scope.  Sometimes, when re-entering the same function,
it may be useful to set this value to nil so that you don't need to
recreate the watch expression.
