cuda-gdb hardware watchpoints for global memory debugging in Linux

In cuda-gdb, is it possible to set a hardware watchpoint on a variable in global memory? I’ve tried commands like this:

watch (@global float) var

but they seem to have no effect.

I’m using Fermi cards and am running

x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.4 (Tikanga)

Nvidia driver version 256.40

The Cuda toolkit I downloaded was cudatoolkit_3.1_linux_64_rhel5.4.run

Watchpoints aren’t supported at this point.
