• You need to display the Watch expression.
• There must be at least one Watch expression.
  The Watch expression to be added can be a non-existent value. (Ex: aaaaaa)

Tested environments

• Windows10 + vscode-cpptools + cppvsdbg
• Windows10 + vscode-cpptools + mingw + gdb + the latest MIEngine on github
