Inspecting STL containers in Visual Studio debugging


If I have a std::vector or std::map variable, and I want to see the contents, it's a big pain to see the nth element while debugging. Is there a plugin, or some trick to making it easier to watch STL container variables while debugging (VS2003/2005/2008)?


Solution

  • For vectors, this thread on the msdn forums has a code snippet for setting a watch on a vector index that might help.
