[OpenWalnut-Dev] Watching std::vector contents in Eclipse (debuggihng)

[Andreas Schwarzkopf]

Hello,

I have tried out the IDE CLion. Watching vectors is done in the 
variables list. looking the fiirst entry it must be done a double click 
below that value to see more items. Maybe not as efficient as it is in 
Java Eclipse but at least a possibility. I tried also watch vectors 
containing a class instance. Contents of classes could be watched but it 
lacked variable names in the variables view of the class inside a 
vector. Watch expressions have a problem. Regarding declaring 
"vector<double> numbers; vector<Object> objects" numbers[0] could be 
watched but not objects[0] after initializing them.
