? How does one use these I can't find anything else about 
them, not in the source code.


I have added some documentation here: 
https://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/Debugging.html#customization

I've tried that. I switched the debuggers in the debug options 
and general options to use mago.

The only thing I have gotten was a magnifier glass(the 
visualizer).

I tried going to a watch window and add but visualD and studio 
crashed.



struct test
{
        int x;
        auto __debugOverview()
        {
                return "asdfsda";
        }
        auto __debugExpanded()
        {
                struct x
                { int x, y;
                }
                return x(3,3);
        }

        auto __debugTextView()
        {               
                return "asdfsda";
        }

        auto __debugStringView()
        {
                return "{x:asdfsda}";
        }


}

void main()
{
        
        test t;

        return;
}

Also, in the general options it has 
debug[Overview|Expanded|Visualizer]. The help seems inconsistent 
with the various _debug functions.

There seems to be a bug somewhere.

I started a different project and copied that code and it works! 
I originally had it in another project. The new project has 
Visual Studio x86 mixed mode set for the debugger! I thought I 
read that it must be mago.

So it seems to work but there seems to be a bug that causes a 
crash and does not properly handle.


Ok, I changed the old project back from mago to VSx86MM and it 
works. So this seems to be an issue with mago.

mago debugger

    can now evaluate class/struct methods/fields __debugOverview, 
__debugExpanded, __debugTextView to customize display in the 
debugger
    experimental: can now display ranges similar to arrays
    some performance improvements by caching some data while the 
debuggee is stopped


I assumed mago debugger meant for mago debugger. In any case, the 
crash is not good(happens when I go from locals to watch).

Thanks
