     * `maxStructFields`: Maximum number of fields read from a struct. A setting of `-1` indicates that all fields should be read (default: `-1`).
     * `maxVariableRecurse`: How far to recurse when evaluating nested types (default: `1`).
     * `followPointers`: Automatically dereference pointers (default: `true`).
-  * `showGlobalVariables`: Show global variables in the Debug view (default: `true`).
