Hi everybody!!

I am using Visual Studio 6 and a vector<CMaClass>
Eveything is ok, but when i want to debug i cannot access the vector's
informzations, for example:

    vector <CMyClass> vVect;

    vVect.push_back(CMyClass());
    vVect.push_back(CMyClass());
    vVect.push_back(CMyClass());

    vVect[0].myClassMember = 0;

this is what is in the code and it runs,
but if I put
    vVect[0].myClassMember
in Visual's de{*filter*}, it tells me there is an error like 'ambigous type..."

Does anyone no what to do??
thanks
toms

Hi Toms,

vector overloads the [] operator, so it doesn't work in the VC de{*filter*}.
You can try the following in the watch window:

vVect._First,10

- or -

vVect._First[0].myClassMember

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Leo Chen

Hi! thaks for haing answered to me! :)
well, when I try this, Visual's de{*filter*} tells me it doesn't know symbol
_First...

And I already tryed to do
vVect.at(2) to acces my 3rd element, but it is the same thing : symbol at
not found!!!!

Why does not this work?? are vectors so particulars to be unable to be
interpreted by visual's de{*filter*}??????
Or have I made any mistake? Have I forgotten any option???

toms

Not sure why that doesn't work. Works for me. Are you sure you're using
the stl shipped with VC6.0? You have to prefix _First with the name of
your vector (i.e. MyVector._First)

See
http://www.*-*-*.com/

Basically the de{*filter*} can't distinguish between overloaded operators
that have const and non-const versions. This I think explains why the
operator[] won't work as expected.

P: Egad! You astound me, Brain!
B: That's a simple task, Pinky.

Either drill down into your vector by clicking on the plus sign, or look in
the
vector header file to find the name of the member variable that holds
a pointer to the allocated memory. The name of this member variable
changed from VC++ 6.0 to .Net, but the technique remains the same.

The ,10 after vVect._First tells VC++ to display ten elements from
the memory pointed to by vVect._First, which can be handy.

.at() might not work because you never call that function in your code
(in which case it isn't generated) or because the de{*filter*} sometimes
has difficulty calling functions, especially template functions.

The de{*filter*} doesn't help very much with STL debugging, and templates
do cause a few difficulties with debugging, but it can be made to work.

thanks! it works!
my implementation of STL requires vVect._M_start
