Visual Studio Debugger "renderer" support for Boost.Container ?
MS Visual Studio's Debugger comes pre-loaded with "renderers" (I forget what S.T.L. actually called them) for the containers and smart pointers supplied with the compiler. Looking at a Boost Container in the debugger is not nearly so nice. Has anyone looked into adding renderers for them?

The ones written and assorted resources seem to generally huddle up at: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/DebuggerVisualizers -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
They are called visualizers. Boost has bunch of them here: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/DebuggerVisualizers No visualizers for Container though. That being said it is not difficult to write your own visualizers once you know internal implemenation of a container. Making one for container::vector is copy-paste visualizer for std::vector + few adjustments. On the other hand it is practically impossible to do the same for deque. 2012/10/29 John M.
