Thanks a lot for such a valuable information. Can you kindly point us to an official documentation of things we can do with the debugger in VS 2k3+.

Hi,

I just learned that I can use "x, 10" to express a pointer as an array. Now the problem is how could I evaluate a double pointer as a matrix? Thanks

i,o 052 int

In fact, I think that the most useful "format specifier" is one allowing to represent pointers as arrays.

You just add ,N to the evaluation expression and the debugger print first N elements of array

(varCArray).m_pData,3

C++ guy:

Look for a file called autoExp.dat. Native expression evaluators are contained in here.
It contains (very basic) documentation on the formating plus many examples. Imitating it you should be able to implement something suitable for your custom types.

Is there anyway to customize the debug string that appears for a class? Like maybe implement a __repr__() function that returns the string will appears in the watch window?

Is there a way to do this for windbg?
