Skip STL Code when debugging C++ Code in Visual Studio 2012?
There's Step Into Specific
available on the right-click menu:
Though for a single argument, I'll more often do Step Into
+ Step Out
+ Step Into
from the keyboard instead of navigating the menus for Step Into Specific
.
An unofficial registry key for always stepping over certain code is described in an MSDN blog post, How to Not Step Into Functions using the Visual C++ Debugger.
There used to be a registry key to do that, but this has changed in VS2012:
Visual Studio 2012 (dev11) Everything has changed! Until the VC++ team put something on their blog (feel free to bug them to do this), take a peek at this file:
C:\Program Files[ (x86)]\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers\default.natstepfilter
For VS 2013 and 2015, the Just my code setting, known from .NET projects, was extended to work for native C++ too.
With Visual Studio, whenever you are about to step into a function, you can actually right-click onto the statement and select in a cascaded menu called "Step Into Specific" the destination you want to reach. You can then bypass copy constructor/getter/etc. passed as argument to the function. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ad07721(v=vs.100).aspx for more information.
For new version of Visual Studio like VS2019, we have new chosen: Just my code
