Visual Studio

Lightsprint SDK works with Visual Studio out of the box, but it's possible to improve visualizations of Lightsprint types in debugger.

Visual Studio 2012 - 2022

To improve visualizations, copy our Lightsprint.SDK.natvis file to Visual Studio folder Common7/Packages/Debugger/Visualizers. bin/install_vs_visualizers.bat can do it for you, when run as an administrator.

Visual Studio 2010

To improve visualizations, open Visual Studio file Common7/Packages/Debugger/autoexp.dat and insert following blocks of text

• into [AutoExpand] section

  rr::RRVec2=<x>,<y>
  rr::RRVec3=<x>,<y>,<z>
  rr::RRVec4=<x>,<y>,<z>,<w>
  rr::RRString=<str>

• into [Visualizer] section

  rr::RRVector<*>{
          children
          (
                  #array
                  (
                          expr :          ($c.c)[$i],
                          size :          $c.numUsed
                  )
          )
          preview
          (
                  #(
                          "[", $e.numUsed , "](",
                          #array
                          (
                                  expr :  ($c.c)[$i],
                                  size :  $c.numUsed
                          ),
                          ")"
                  )
          )
  }
