i am trying to see separate values of a string in C++ while i debug.
IN C i was able to do it but in C++ i failed.
it doesnt show values seperately,
I know basic debugging.
suppose,
i declared string s1,s2;
i am trying to see values of each element of s1 seperately.(as an array)
PLEASE HELP ME.
What does your debugger show you?
I am using Codeblocks
No, that's your IDE. I'm asking what does you debugger show you when you watch a std::string.
ok i dont understand what std::string means.sorry.
but when i open the watch window;
under s1 string(as ive declared before)
it shows
static npos=4292967295;
M_dataplus(you can expand it)
it goes on
I am just trying to view this as an array.
I mean is there a way to view the elements of the string or vector in CODEBLOCKS???
First link in a Google search of "debugging in code::blocks"
ive watched a lot of things regarding the debugging.i can debug.in C i can see all values of a string as an array.
But in C++ string i cant do it.
please if you know give me a hint on how to do it.links are not working for me.
What do you mean by "you can expand it"? If the watch window is only showing you the value of the internal pointer, then you could try watching the pointer itself to see if the contents of what the pointer points to will be displayed instead of merely the address stored.Quote:
