Why is the integrated vs debugger so… barely functional? I cannot see the contents of an object in memory. For example, I am working with bitmaps and I would like to see them in memory. Do I need a better debugger for this? If so I am interested in recommendations. Nothing too powerful like a disassembler, just the debugger.
I’ve never found it to be ‘barely functional’. VS gives you disassembly by default when it can’t find source, and it’s pretty easy to get to the memory view. Debug-> Windows -> Memory. Type ‘this’ into the Address: box to get the memory of your current object. To view a specific member type ‘&this->member_name’. It’ll jump right to the first byte.
