What about the contents of a map or list? This would be quite handy.
Ideally plugging it in and having it work as is would be nice. I'm quite convinced by now that's not possible with anything in computers but it would be nice....although I'd try it at home to get a feel for it first since it is not terribly straightforward and you don't want to waste too much time in the office trying to get it to work right.

>> take the address of the vector and paste it into the memory viewer
Or manually update the autoexp.dat to have it show what you want. I did this with an old string implementation and it helped a lot.

I would hope that there would be people who have done this that could make their changes available for others, but I haven't tried it in years so I wouldn't know. Whatever changes you test at home could probably be carried over to your work machine immediately (assuming they're the same version).
BTW, to my recollection my best success with this was in VC 6.0. I believe I tried it with 2003 but don't remember much about it.

I see. Didn't see that one.Originally Posted by CornedBee
I tried this in VS2005 and it works great. Had some trouble with a map but dynamic arrays, STL lists, vectors, queues, dequeues, and stacks work like a charm. I guess it wouldn't hurt to read the help files for the compiler once in awhile. Thanks for the information because it's a lifesaver.
Tried this in 2003 and it did not work. So guess I'm out of luck at work unless I use the file recommended in this thread.
Found this on gamedev. To look into an STL container in VS2003 just append .Myfirst,<x> in the watch window where x is the number of items to display from the container.
So for a vector named myVector it would look like this in the watch window:
myVector._Myfirst,10
This would display the first 10 objects in the vector myVector.
