Stepping into a boost::function while debugging
Hi, Does anyone have a tip, suggestions or workaround on how one should do to step into the target function of a boost::function while debugging in VS 2008 (VC9), without wading through the boost::function implementation? I have looked around a bit now and have not found any solution except putting a breakpiont in the target function which may not be practical when one does not know which function it is. I get the feeling one have to wait for MS to add a feature like "step through code I don't want to see". But until then, what do you folks do? Designing with delegates in C++ feels a bit like a show-stopper for me until I can step into a delegate target function without getting lost in a haystack. Cheers, Peter

I just hit step into until I get to familiar code. There isn't actually a lot of code to step through when calling a Boost.Function. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Add a new string value to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\NativeDE\StepOver (in the Windows registry), set the name to "Boost" (doesn't really matter though) and the value to "boost\:\:.*" (that matters!). There is some more information about this undocumented function at http://blogs.msdn.com/andypennell/archive/2004/02/06/69004.aspx. Boris
