My #1 please for the managed debugger is... can we see the return value of managed methods. It is pain having to create a named temporary variable to be the 'return value' in each and every function. In unmanaged code we could look at the EAX register. Now I know mechanics are different for managed code - so perhaps what's needed is a debugger pseudo variable like $return or something.

Not that I mean to grumble about this but I'd had an issue logged about this, like forever...

Hi Tom,

I am having the debugger team following up on the issue that you raise here.

This stuff looks fantastic.

What about Memory profiling, we have an application which makes extensive use of XPathDocuments and trying to avoid memory fragmentation, large object heap etc is hard.

We have used the SciTech profiler in the past, but to have something like the stuff you describe here for profiling memory would be amazing. VS2010 etc.. :-)

Jan,

Yes, the profiler can do managed memory profiling. It can show you the object lifetimes (i.e. Gen 0, 1, 2, and LOH), as well as where objects are being allocated in your code (with full call stacks).

Hot path also works with the object allocation view, so you can quickly get a grasp on the code paths along which the most or the largest objects are being allocated.

While hot path is not available in VS2005, the managed memory profiling is. Both features are, of course, available in VS2008.

When we migrated our code from VS6.0 to VS2005 we lost the file name and line number reporting for memory leaks. Our efforts to remedy this have been unsuccessful. Is there a change we need to respond to in order to get this feature working or was this feature downgraded in VS2005?

Hi, Somasegar,

Our firm is small and uses Red Gate Ant Pofiler with VS 2005 Standard Edition. We already have VS 2008 Professional and will move to it in coming weeks. But the Ant Proflier 3 does not support VS 2008 and the ANT Profiler 4 will not be released in months. VSTS is too expensive to us. We will not pay that much money just for its Code Profiler. But we do need a profiler for VS 2008 Professional.

I believe there many small teams like ours paying several hundreds of $ to get a profiler from one way or another. Why Microsoft keeps its Code Profiler for $Big firms and ignore the market of small teams on profiler?

Would you please consider to release a stand-along version of Code Profiler for small business?

Thank you

We've been working with the HPC team and have released a parallel debugging add-in for Visual Studio 2008 that builds upon these improvements - at-a-glance thread position, independent and grouped thread control, cross-thread variable comparisons and more. There's a free 30-day trial up at www.allinea.com/ddtlite and some more info in the Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 SDK at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=12887da1-9410-4a59-b903-693116bfd30e&DisplayLang=en (not required for multi-threaded debugging though)

I second Tom's request. This is definitely something lacking in the VS debugger that would be extremely handy. Just add a "return value" entry to the "Locals" pane.
