Rubbish in a codewarrior stack display is usually a result of registers
being unavailable due to inlining. If you turn off all your
optimizations, all the variables become valid. When I'm debugging an
optimized build, I usually bring up the register display window, and
switch the IDE to the Mixed Source/Assembly mode so I can see what
registers are actually in use.

Another reason you might get rubbish in a stack crawl is when a function
has been inlined because in that case there is no stack context to
display. It would probably be better if the values greyed out and
displayed ??? instead, but oh well.
