In the Visual Studio C++ debugger, GRPC objects are mostly shown as
pointers, but I can't expand to see the value of strings, embedded messages
or arrays of repeating messages in a non-trivial data-structure. My
friends in Python and C# claim they have better visibility and can easily
see the values of nested objects in our complex data-structures.
Is there some method to easily examine the actual values of a GRPC C++
object when debugging in Visual Studio? Perhaps a GRPC C++ Plugin for
Visual Studio or a way of using expressions and watches in the debugger, or
some other method to view the values of a large data-structure? I've
searched and can't find it.
Here's a quick example data-structure. If I'm debugging a unit test and
looping through this 2-dimensional grid of result objects, initially I
can't just open up the tree of objects and drill down to the scores and
visibly compare. By the time I can see the individual ItemScores (like
after a function call assert_ItemScores(ItemScore Expected, ItemScore
Actual) ), I don't have clear visibility into where I'm at in the grid, or
what was the associated model data 1 or 2 levels up that goes with this
score. I feel like I'm debugging blind-folded.
message ItemScore {
string guid = 1
int timeMS = 2;
float value1 = 3;
float value2 = 4;
float value3 = 5;
...
}
message ModelDescription {
string ModelGuid =1;
string ModelName =2;
int inputOption =3;
}
message ResultObject {
repeated ItemScore scores = 1;
float maxScore =2;
float minScore =3;
ModelDescription associatedModel= 3;
}
message 1DResultGrid {
repeated ResultObject results = 1;
}
message 2DResultGrid {
repeated 1DResultGrid ResultsRows = 1;
ResultHeader metaData = 2;
}
