Feature request: user name variable

[j.jemine]

Hi,

Could we have a built-in variable ($(User) ?) that would resolve to the current Windows user name?

We currently use a user variable for this purpose, but it is error prone because developpers often forget to set it.

Not having to worry about this variable would be a great quality of life improvement for us!

Thanks!

Hi,

VisualGDB actually recognizes and substitutes the normal environment variables with the $(Variable) syntax. Hence you can simply use the $(USERNAME) syntax to refer to the built-in Windows variable containing the current user name.

Good to know 🙂

Perfect, thanks!
