Re: [Boost-users] [multi_index] MSVS 2005 visualizers?

Filip Konvi?ka ha escrito: [...]

This is OK, but first I need to get the node "n", which seems hard. This is because it is the "member" field of the container, which must be accessed via some down-cast to header_holder, and Tx depends on T2, but I can not derive Tx from T2 in the visualizer (I could use some typedefs from multi_index::detail to get Tx, but this is not supported by the debugger).

Specifically, given the multi_index_container<*,indexed_by<*>,*> > pattern, I need to cast the container variable to

header_holder, multi_index_container >,

where Q2 is something like sequenced_index_node >, which I don't know how to construct from T2.

OK, I think I begin to understand the limitations of the visualizer with respect to type calculation. I think you can circumvent this problem by exercising some hacks similar in spirit to your VISUALIZE_MULTI_INDEX_CONTAINER thing -but less intrusive. Define the following: template struct header_holder_accessor: private ::boost::base_from_member< typename boost::detail::allocator::rebind_to< Allocator, typename boost::multi_index::detail::multi_index_node_type< Value,IndexSpecifierList,Allocator>::type >::type> { typedef typename boost::multi_index::detail::multi_index_node_type< Value,IndexSpecifierList,Allocator>::type node_type; node_type* value; }; Now you can do the following cast in your visualizer: multi_index_container* --> header_holder_accessor* and you get to the header_holder part by applying ".value". Now you can move the rest of the work to a header_holder visualizer. Similarly, if you define template<typename Super> struct sequenced_index_node_value_accessor { typedef typename Super::value_type value_type; value_type value; }; when you're in the sequenced_index_node<T1> visualizer you can do the following cast sequenced_index_node<T1>* --> sequenced_index_node_value_accessor<T1>* and get to the value by applying ".value", which automagically has the right type. Does this help work around the limitations of the visualizer? Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
