    Hi, .gdbinit allows to define some pretty printing functions for complex data structures. VisuaGDB has different approach – requires a client side plugins.
    Many developers deliver its own debugging functions for .gdbinit. Using them is simple as a adding to my own .gdbinit. I know that I can use that function in GDB Session window from VS. But it’s not the point. I would like to debug using provided pretty printers in more convenient way.
    It will be great to see such feature in future version of Visual GDB. Maybe you can just translate output of GDB pretty printer to “Watch” window ?

    Hi,

    If you could quote a good example showing how using those functions simplifies viewing of complex data types, we would certainly consider supporting it in the future versions.

    For example for Boost :
