That's it, exactly. I never used gdb directly. So I believed it is a gdb bug
and show it just in case.

Just write foo(int& a, int& b); and go inside of the body. Take a look on
the watch window. There are only reference addresses but not values. It's
possible to get values by double clicking. It will be despaired after next
debugger action. I use gcc 2.92 with 3th level of debugging

or any variations thereof. The only way I've found so far is to look at
dissembled code then add *(int*)0x"address of bar" to the watch. There must
be
a simpler way...

Hi Daniel :-)
how should/does this work?

Not sure I understand. Can you give example code, what is displayed, and the
way you'd prefer to see it.

Looks like a bug. You'll have to use your suggested workaround in the
meantime.
