Title: Several questions about debugging in C::B
Post by: olelukoie on November 12, 2008, 08:20:05 am

I've used C::B for some time under windows & linux and now I have some questions about debugging. Maybe there's already answers somewere but I havent found them, sorry.

1. Is there support for drag'n'drop between code editor and watches pane? So that I could select a var in my code and drag it in watch pane without using context menu and additional dialog box.
2. Is there suport for MS-like type modifiers in watch pane? So that if I add a watch in form 'var,x' it means that the value of 'var' should be represented as hex, and if I add a form 'var,5' it means that 'var' is an array pointer and contains 5 elements.
3. Does watches pane support 'inplace' editing without calling additional dialog box?
4. Is it possible to display non-latin UTF-8 and wide (wchat_t, std::wstring etc.) chars and strings as chars and strings in watches pane? Currently I can see only char codes instead of chars.
5. If I add a watch in a form of array, I cannot see its base address. Is there any way of displaying address of an array and its elements at the same time? And is it possible to see address of a scalar variable along with its value without adding second watch in form of '&var'?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

1, no
2,haven't tested yet, but I think the answer is "no"
3,no
4,haven't tested it yet, I'm not care about this
5,no, but you can simply add a "&" before the variable name.
