I started using multi-index container, everything works fine, but I have hard time when debugging my code with Visual Studio 2005. The problem is I can't see the contents of the container when point my mouse to the container variable i.e I am seeing bunch of information that needs to be expanded, but can't see the actual elements in the container, for example like I can with std::vector. Is there some way to do this ? thanks

You can try using the appropriate Visualizer:

IIRC, using visuzlizer for MI-container requires some additional code as well. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

I downloaded boost 1.45 and tried with visual studio 2010. still doesn't work for me. I did the following steps: 1) I copied mic_visualizer.hpp ( downloded from https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost_docs/subprojects/DebuggerVisua...) to boost/multi_index 2) I copied the code found in boost__MI.msvc8.vis.txthttps://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost_docs/subprojects/DebuggerVisua...to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\autoexp.dat 3) finally tried the same demo Must be doing something wrong.

FWIW, I've just tried this visualizer with VC10, boost1.45, and it works well. I copied mic_visualizer.hpp to boost/multi_index/, and used the following example:

https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost_docs/subprojects/DebuggerVisua...

Of course you have to restart VS after adding the visualizer. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users

Thank you, that was it ! On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 4:55 PM, Igor R wrote:

Did you copy it to the right place? It should be in [Visualizer] section.

Try the demo from the same folder:

https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost_docs/subprojects/DebuggerVisua...

And after you figure out what was wrong, I believe it should work with 1.42/VC8 as well. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
