I am involved in a c++ refactoring project and sometimes there are differences resulting, when there should be none. Currently, what I do is basically setting a breakpoint at some place, and then go through the program by F10/F11. The first problem is the size of the projects, traversing it takes a lot of time. Second, sometimes I have differences only in the end of a very big test sentences (say, 600 words), thus just getting to the different word is painfully slow.
1. Is it possible to write some kind of macro for Visual Studio, which will start from the breakpoint, then go step-by-step through the program until end while printing some fields?
2. Are there any neat tricks or tools to simplify the task?
Thanks!

    You can create Macros by using Tools>Macros>Macro IDE

    If prefer the following method because it’s faster for me.

    You can record macros using Tools>Macros>Record temporary macro
    Everything you type will then be recorded into a macro.

    After you recorded what you want to be automated, you can edit the generated code by using View>Other windows>Macro Explorer. Your macro will be recorded in MyMacros>RecordingModule>TemporaryMacro in Macro Explorer window. If you right click that and select edit.

    One way to test if the program is terminated:

    While Not DTE.Debugger.CurrentProgram Is Nothing
