Visual Studio 2010 NoStepInto

Two things have changed with the NoStepInto feature of the native C++ debugger in VS2010 compared to VS2008 (for a general intro see here):
  • You don't have to put your rules in HKLM anymore: you might as well put them in HKCU (more precise in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0_Config\NativeDE\StepOver), which is of course much better
  • If you put =NoStepInto things will no longer work: just leave it off.
Some examples (as entered in RegEdit)
  • Name:10, Value: boost\:\:shared_ptr.*
  • Name:20, Value: std\:\:.*
Happy programming!
