Hello all,
for those interested, here is an alpha version of a MSVC-8.0 visualizer
for multi_index_containers whose first index is sequenced<>. To try it
out, insert autoexp.dat.txt contents into your
Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\Debugger\autoexp.dat
For your container to be visualized, you need to call the
VISUALIZE_MULTI_INDEX_CONTAINER macro at the global namespace level (see
the attached example, test2.cpp, and the screenshot of a test2.cpp
debugging session, sample.png).
Comments / suggestions are welcome!
Things that need attention:
- of course, containers whose first index is not sequenced<>
- maybe there is a better way of enforcing template instantiation...?
- possible name conflict issues, you guys probably know better than I do :-)
Cheers,
Filip
P.S.: My colleague says that this is black magic, so beware :-)
