I have the following .natvis file for visualizing the elements of a hash table.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AutoVisualizer xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/vstudio/debugger/natvis/2010">
<Type Name="vbl::Hash_Table<*>">
<DisplayString>{size} elements in {capacity} slots</DisplayString>
<Expand>
<CustomListItems MaxItemsPerView="5000" ExcludeView="Test">
<Variable Name="slot_index" InitialValue="0" />
<Size>size</Size>
<Loop>
<Break Condition="slot_index >= size"/>
<If Condition="slot_index < size">
<If Condition="slots[slot_index].key_hash == true">
<Item Name="key">slots[slot_index].key</Item>
<Item Name="value">slots[slot_index].value</Item>
</If>
<Exec>slot_index++</Exec>
</If>
</Loop>
</CustomListItems>
</Expand>
</Type>
</AutoVisualizer>
I am not (yet) concerned about the complicated visualization logic, but just about the name matching. This natvis gets loaded for the type vbl::Hash_Table<Handle, Entity*, null>
but not for the type vbl::Hash_Table<Physics_Body*, long, function (Physics_Body* b) @system => hash32((*b)::entity::handle::raw_handle::bitfield)>
. The Output window shows that the natvis compiles completely for the first one, but isn't even considered for the second one.
The second type signature is completely crazy, I known, but unfortunately I have to work with it and can't figure out why it doesn't match. I considered that the name matching system maybe matches greadily, so that the >
would match the greater-than in =>
and not at the end, but since it doesn't have problems with nested templates, this can't be the case.
How do I correct <Type Name="vbl::Hash_Table<*>">
to match both type signatures?
