improvements to the debugger [message #177791]

Hi all,
Are there any planes to improve the debugging functions in Eclipse?
I'm missing some nice features that were in Visual c++.
For instance showing the return values from functions in the variables
window.
For example if you are stepping over this line, you there is no easy way
to check the return value of calcValue():

int x = var1 * calcValue()/1000;

....

public int calcValue()
{
return Math.sqrt(member)*1.222;
}

you end up writing an extra line of code, just to see the return value:

public int calcValue()
{
int x = Math.sqrt(member)*1.222;
return x;
}

Hi Ed. Try asking this question in eclipse.tools.cdt (C/C++ Development
Tools). You might also consider taking a look in Bugzilla to see if
there are any plans.

Does eclipse.tools.cdt have a web interface like this one?
Unfortunately I am not able to post in news groups

It should. It's on the same server as this newsgroup.

I know they are working on this feature for Java (see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75519). You may want to
post a similar feature request under the CDT product.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Yeah, I see now that many people have had the same wish, but seems to be
some problem in the java debugger that doesn't allow them to implement it.
