It is always annoying when you are debugging with visual studio, you press F11 on a standard MFC or STL object and the control goes to the constructor or assignment operator of that standard class.
Eg:
string myStr = “This is my string”;
If you press F11 on the above line, it will go to the assignment operator implementation of std::string class.
To avoid such unwanted stepping into the assignment operator implementation, edit AUTOEXP.DAT , found in the Bin folder of MsDev directory and add the following line.
[ExecutionControl]
std::string::operator==NoStepInto
To avoid stepping into the constructor of string, you can add a line as follows.
[ExecutionControl]
std::string::string=NoStepInto
If you want to disable stepping into all the functions of the class CMyClass,
[ExecutionControl]
CMyClass::*=NoStepInto
If you want to disable stepping into all the functions of classes in the namespace MyNameSpace,
[ExecutionControl]
MyNameSpace::*=NoStepInto
