Hello HN, for about 6 months I've been developing a Visual Studio extension that makes it easier to debug & inspect dynamic C++ code that changes state e.g every frame. The newest feature I added to the extension is showing real-time changes alongside each line. This works kind of like a global, immediate watch, but without any breakpoints - this is really useful in game development where you'd like to track variables that change state all the time.<p>The feature works by setting the cursor inside a function, and the extension will start showing you the code paths that are executed and what local variables are changing in it. You can also use it as a function recorder with no breakpoints - just set the cursor in the function, execute an action that calls the function and you'll be able to trace everything that the function did.<p>Here's a demo of the feature: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfUWJYEQCw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfUWJYEQCw</a><p>Marketplace: <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donadigo.d0" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donadigo...</a> (note: this is a paid extension).
