no support for pointer arrays #3

Open fleafffb opened 2 years ago

fleafffb commented 2 years ago

it would be nice to have support for allocated memory chunks and have them displayed like in MSVC debugger, for example ptr, 1024

with float *ptr this will be the same as an array ptr[1024].

awulkiew commented 2 years ago

Yes, this feature is missing right now (as you suggested defined as ptr,size), as well as visualization of two 1d containers as container of points defined as container1;container2.

fleafffb commented 2 years ago

Is there a schedule for this? As we have quite a lot of C style code the 'ptr,size' would be very welcome.

awulkiew commented 2 years ago

No, I'm developing the extension in my free time and I don't have much of it right now. If you don't want to wait or doesn't have time for forking the repo and adding this you could switch from vscode to vscommunity and use this extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AdamWulkiewicz.GraphicalDebugging

ah, cool, I didn't know this one. But actually I try to move away from VS in order to get more independent of the platform. If I find the time to dig into VS plugin development I might add a fork. Thanks for your fast responses.

awulkiew commented 2 years ago

I'll keep it open because this should still be implemented.

awulkiew commented 2 years ago

@fleafffb VS extension has this implemented, though the size has to be a number and cannot be a variable. The feature you need has to be added in this extension for VSC.
