Entrian Inline Watch 0.9.12 Beta: Popups and recursive formatting rules
Monday, February 15th, 2016 by Richie HindleI’m very pleased to annnounce Entrian Inline Watch 0.9.12, with these new features:
- Hovering over a displayed value now displays a popup showing more information:
For integers, it shows the value in decimal, hex, octal(*) and binary. For other types (including strings) it shows the full non-truncated value. You can pin those popups, so that they reappear when you re-enter their scope. They’re not constrained to the Visual Studio window, so you can pin them wherever you like, including on a different monitor.(*) Because you’re debugging a PDP-8 using Nixie tubes, right?
- Both object formatting rules and accessor function rules now look up further formatting rules for the members they’re rendering, so if you have a rule for member
m_x
of typeX
, and a rule for typeX
,m_x
will be formatted according to the rule for typeX
. Thanks, Martin. - You can now refer to the object itself in a format rule, by using an underscore. For example, to display HWNDs as plain hex, you can create a rule to display
HWND__
as{(void*)&_}
. Thanks, Martin.
This new release is available from the download page or the gallery.
(Update: 0.9.13 fixes a bug in the Pinned Popups feature, which now might actually work. 🙂 )
