[multi_index] MSVC 8.0 visualizers for boost::multi_index_container

4 Jun 2007

      Hello all,

here is another version of MSVC 2005 visualizers for 
multi_index_container. Thanks to Joaquín for his invaluable support!

This version supports sequenced, random_access, ordered and hashed 
indices. Hashed indices are visualized including the internal bucket 
structure, indicating empty bucket, single-item bucket and multiple-item 
bucket (see the example below).

As in the previous version, contents of autoexp.dat.txt go into

  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 a screenshot of a test2.cpp 
debugging session, sample_hash.png).

I strongly recommend using

#define BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_LIMIT_INDEXED_BY_SIZE    5
#define BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_LIMIT_TAG_SIZE           3
#define BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_LIMIT_COMPOSITE_KEY_SIZE 5

in order to reduce symbol name lengths, because otherwise the resulting 
symbols are too long for the visualizer to work (this typically happens 
with more than 1 index in a multi_index_container). Also beware, using 
type hiding techniques described at 
http://boost.org/libs/multi_index/doc/compiler_specifics.html#type_hiding 
will cause visualizers to fail.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Filip
