AutoExp.dat question

[Jack]

Hi,
It has been great pleasure playing with Autoexp. But One thing I couldn't
resolve was the way how
tool-tips and watches { x=100 y=100 } displayed with multi-lines, is
autoexp.dat formattable in this sense?
Let's say a --- b = 100 d = 50
c = 20 e = 50

Thanks
Jack

I don't think so. Here's quote from AutoExp.dat:

"An AutoExpand rule is a line with the name of a type, an
equals sign, and text with replaceable parts in angle brackets."

My AutoExp.dat doesn't work for my own defined class members.
EXPR=expr=<type,s>

The watch doesn't expand while tooltips also doesn't as well
Please help, am i missing something i need to know?
Thanks

AutoExp.dat format is very simple. If it doesn't work for
you, then ensure that you spelled type names correctly and
class actually does contain this member.

I've got a unrecognized type

typedef enum
{
TYPE_A,
TYPE_B,
...
} NodeType;

typedef struct _expr
{
NodeType type;
...
} EXPR;

====================
with the above, i tried
_expr=type=<type,i>
EXPR=type=<type,i>
_expr*=type=<type,i>
_expr=type=<type,s>

None of the above works
Thanks

Don't worry, I was modifying the wrong file

Hello,
I found a limitation on autoexp.dat that there is a maximum length for each
displayed item that I am after.
Longer than this will cause gabbage in tooltips and watches.
Am i correct?
Thanks

Probably there is some limitation in debugger's auto
expander. However, I never encountered it personally.
