When a program is compiled with /debug and run inside SDBG/SDBG64 8.62, when the mouse pointer hovers over a variable name in a comment area of the source, the current value of the variable is displayed. Should not the debugger completely ignore anything beyond '!' in a source line (or an entire fixed-format source line with 'c' in col-1)?

Code:
program sdbgBug
implicit none
integer :: iabcd, iefgh
!
iabcd = 10
iefgh = 71
call sub(iabcd, iefgh)
print *, iabcd                  ! iefgh
! iabcd   iefgh
end program

subroutine sub(i, j)
implicit none
integer i,j,k
k=i
i=j
j=k
return
end subroutine sub


Please place a breakpoint on the PRINT line and run to that breakpoint. Place the mouse pointer on "iefgh" on that line or on either of the "words" on the next line. Observe that the variable names are parsed and their values displayed.

My preference is that the debugger should completely ignore any part of a comment.

It just looks at the surrounding line for things it can show.
