Time and time again, I program with dynamic arrays starts with a pointer:
int * pArray = new int[ArrayCount];
However, VS, even 2005 edition does not support to show the dynamic array's content in its Watch and Auto window of debug mode. If I put the "pArray" into Watch window, only the first element of this array can be shown, which is not so easy for me to get the idea what are in the array now. The awkward alternative way I am using is to use Memory window. Another method is use Excel's auto sequnce fill function to get a list pArray[0] pArray[1]...., and copy them into Watch window.
When I use STL container, there is a similar problem. If you define:
vector<MyClass> a;
and put a into Watch window, only some confusing iterator (for example, _being and _end) are shown and I cannot get more detailed information about this vector.
But when I use Eclipse, I find that a container can be shown in its "Expression" window in two modes. The first one is normal mode, in which the container's fields, such as begin, end, element_count, capacity, can be seen. Another one is logical mode, in which all the contents of the container's appear (and grouped as 0...99, 100...199, ...)
That's fantastic and makes everything more convenient.
So how about if VAX can add this function? Thank you. |

just type e.g. "pArray, 10" in watch window to show first 10 values
