get return value of a call while debugging

(1/3) > >>

MoonKid:
Where can I see the return value of a function/methode that is called while debugging.

I step on each line with F7. I want to see each(!) return value. Where can I see it?

Here is an example (I know the code is wrong!):

--- Code: ---wxString strSubDest = strDestination_ + dirname.Right(dirname.Find(wxFILE_SEP_PATH, true));

--- End code ---

I want to see two values if I step over this line.
Return value of Right() and of Find().

You cannot, since there is no symbol for it. If you want to see them, you have to assign them to a variable first.

Why does the MSVC debugger can do this?

Obviously by secretly creating a symbol.

You mean the MSVC compiler restruct code like this


--- Code: ---functioncall();

--- End code ---

to


--- Code: ---long rc = functioncall();

--- End code ---

?

And then the debugger can handle it?
Nice! Why does GCC and GDB does not allow this?
