Debugging when pointers are used
« on: July 28, 2012, 08:52:08 pm »
When I debug a source file that uses pointer variables the Watches pane shows the address  < x = (int*) 0x3910d0 > but not the value stored there.
When I set a pointer to an array in another file it shows all the stored values no problem. Is there a setting that allows this like Visual Studio does by default?

No, you have to do the pointer dereferences yourself, sorry.

Thank you for the quick reply. This is not a big problem to overcome for small, uncomplicated code. Code Blocks is still a pleasure to use unlike V.S. I have been using C::B as my prefered IDE and keeping V.S as a backup only.
