When that happens, the variable in the Watch window is disabled and cannot be inspected any more (nor updated) even if the object is still alive and well. Sometimes, you'd like to watch the value of an object (on the heap) even after the symbol goes out of scope. Tip 3: Watch Heap Objects After Symbol Goes Out of Scope $err, hr – displays the message of the last error.

$err – displays the numeric code of the last error.

However, one that is quite useful is a pseudo-variable for the last error:

$registername – displays the content of the register registername.

$user – information for the account running the program.

$cmdline – the command line string that launched the program.

$tid – the thread ID of the current thread.

How to: Break When an Exception is Thrown.

Here is an example with the debugger breaking when a std::exception is thrown. You can specify native (or managed) exceptions and aside from the default exceptions known to the debugger, you can add your custom exceptions. A dialog is available from Debug > Exceptions menu. Visual Studio allows you to specify what category or particular exception you want to break on. Navigating the Call Stack should allow you to figure the root cause of the exception. That allows you to debug your application immediately after the exception occurs. It is possible to instruct the debugger to break when an exception occurs, before a handler is invoked.

Watch Heap Objects After Symbol Goes out of Scope.

(If you work with managed code, the debugger has even more features and there are several articles on CodeProject that present them.) Here is my list of additional tips:

Therefore, I put together a list of ten more debugging tips for native development that work with at least Visual Studio 2008. Though the article presents some rather basic tips of debugging with Visual Studio, there are others at least as helpful as those. I recently ran into this article by Ivan Shcherbakov called 10+ powerful debugging tricks with Visual Studio.
