I would like to thank the boost developers for their great contributions (where boost::optional is only one of them) and I hope you can even more enjoy boost::optional with this trick. Unfortunately I have not found similar solutions for other compilers yet, e.g for gcc, which probably is due to my lack of experience with them but I would appreciate if someone else publishes them, too.

Daniel, please see http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/DebuggerVisualizers and perhaps contact Filip. He has made visualizers for other Boost libraries, and is maintaining the Wiki page for that effort.

Great work!

Thanks Michael and also thanks for your link - I wasn't aware of this project. I submitted the ticket #1666 (unfortunately I overlooked that this is a bug ticket ;-) to the project, proposing this addition (I checked that it did not yet exist there) - Daniel
