The above user-defined function is commented. But if I see the variables which are declared globally in debug mode, those variables inside this function is getting updated. If I am not calling this function provided that this function is commented also, how come these variables expressions being evaluated.? And sometimes the variables for which I need to see the live values is not being possible. It will show "failed to evaluate expression". Somebody help me in this issue.

Suggests they are computed elsewhere, or removed by the linker via dead code/data removal.
