Re: [Boost-users] Debug data structures using aligned storage

Hi,

I've googled for web pages and groups, but I didn't even find anyone *asking* that question:

How can I debug data structures using aligned storage?

It's very practical to use a graphical debugger like DDD to browse data structures like linked lists or trees. But aligned storages, as used by boost::variant, are opaque to the debugger.

Usually, in the debugger, you cast the base address of the actual storage to a pointer to the type stored, and go from there. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
