Universal Debug Visualizer for Delphi

[dummzeuch 1517]

As mentioned in my previous post on dzDebugVisualizer I was thinking about writing a generalized debug visualizer which can be user-configured to register itself for any data type. Well, that debug visualizer now exists. It’s part of dzDebugVisualizer and called “Universal Visualizer for Delphi”.

 

Read on in the blog post.

Downloaded and installed. This is very helpful, even without adding custom visualizers.

 

I looked on sf for a way to add an "issue" and checked the blog. I suppose you want all feedback to be on this post.

 

In Tools Options, after clicking "Add Defaults", I then deleted each of the items that were added. Except the Delete button does nothing when there is a single item in the list.

 That's because the last line of a string grid cannot be deleted. But the delete button should have cleared the line. If it doesn't, that's indeed a bug.

It does not. I just installed R43 in Delphi 11.3.

What methods do Expression support?

 

I added UInt64, IntToHex({Expression}) or ({Expression}).Dump

 

debug show

224071604948171700 (evaluation failed for IntToHex(I))

226323404761856752 (evaluation failed for (I).Dump)

You can only call methods and functions that you could also use in the unit being debugged. So make sure you include the unit that exports these in the uses clause.

thanks

 

I use this expression

UIntToStr({Expression}) + ' ($' + (IntToHex({Expression}, SizeOf(UInt64) * 2)) + ')'

 Successfully displayed the decimal and hexadecimal values of UINT64
