DevUtils

This Visual Studio extension adds some convenience features I missed for C++ and C# development.

  • adds editor context menu items for inspecting the C++ preprocessor and code generator output resp. C# disassembly via ILSpy
  • taskbar progress visualization and total solution build time

In conjunction with an assembler syntax highlighting extension like AsmDude this provides an easy way to optimize code or figure out preprocessor issues.

It strives to jump to the correct place in the generated output file if possible. This may not be correct if you are in a template function and want to see the assembly or the cursor is placed on a line using macros and preprocessed output is desired.

TODO

  • better methods for finding the correct spot in the generated file

  • RunToCursor functionality with ignoring breakpoints

    Dim bptStates(DTE.Debugger.Breakpoints.Count - 1) As Boolean

    Dim i = 0 For Each bpt As Breakpoint In DTE.Debugger.Breakpoints bptStates(i) = bpt.Enabled i += 1 bpt.Enabled = False Next

    Try DTE.Debugger.RunToCursor(True) ' Catch ex As Exception Finally i = 0 For Each bpt As Breakpoint In DTE.Debugger.Breakpoints bpt.Enabled = bptStates(i) i += 1 Next End Try

    But for some reason the RunToCursor call doesn't work at all ("Operation not supported") and breakpoint states aren't properly reset either. Some are reactivated but not all. Any ideas?
