Upon further examination it doesn't seem like this is happening, though it
should be possible to add some things to the watchpoint classes to make this
happen. This is beyond the scope of this fix though, so no need to do it unless
you have time. What we would need to do is store a StackID (see
"lldb/Target/StackID.h") and thread ID with the watchpoint. When the watchpoint
triggers, we would need to check if the StackID + thread ID is valid (we should
store this info with the watchpoint when setting it from a SBValue::Watch(...),
or not if we just watch the address) still exists in the thread's stack
somewhere. If it does still exist then stop and report, else clear the
watchpoint and don't report anything. If the stack ID isn't valid then we
always stop.
