New issue 2399 by peter.ry...@gmail.com: In debugger allow modifying local  
variable values
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2399

When debugger paused, local variables could be inspected, but not modified.  
When possible, debugger should allow to modify their values.

+1

This has been a hindrance for me while debugging. Would save me a lot of  
time when testing with chrome. However, in the meantime I've been using  
Firefox+Firebug to debug, and that works fine, but I still prefer chrome  
for debugging in general.

Changing variables in non-object scopes, such as Local, Closure and Catch  
requires an explicit API. Object-based scopes (With, Glolbal) can be  
updated using evaluate expression technique (which is even more preferable,  
if the object non-trivial properties).

Sorry peter.ry, I may have misunderstood. All I know is that other  
debuggers allow this. If it requires an explicit API then it's time to  
design/implement such an API I think. For debugging this is an incredibly  
valuable tool.

0.sinner, this is an implementation discussion/log; it doesn't really make  
sense for you to supervise it :)
