Visual Studio Quick Tips

Very quick Visual Studio tips:

Breakpoints

• To put a breakpoint into any class methods, use Class::* as the breakpoint function

Watch Window

• If you have your own type defined in autoexp.dat, you can use the ",!" modifier to skip it
• $ENV=0 dumps the environment variables
• $CMDLINE=0 dumps the command line

Compilation

• If you want a quick way to know the size/offset of your classes, add this compile flag to your cpp file (right-click on cpp file->Properties->Configuration Properties->C/C++->Command Line->Additional Options): /d1reportAllClassLayout
