Watch window usage in vscode when a C program is debugged.

[Kellermaan]

Hi,

I got a question about the usage in C.
when I add some thing in the watch window. I can's use something like A->a, I have to use A.a even the A is a pointer. otherwise it will say that I have some syntax issues. I'm not sure I understand why I have to do this. Is this right? or I have some setting errors.

Thank,
Cheng

Try adding 'expressions':'native' to your launch configuration
Eg.

{
    "name": "Launch",
    "type": "lldb",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/<executable file>",
    "args": ["-arg1", "-arg2"],
    "expressions":"native",
}

Or changing Lldb > Launch: Expressions plugin setting to native.
