Well you can construct expressions in gdb and have them execute but its not as convenient as having the code do it for you. Taking both points of view on board how about a function that you can call on the data object that prints its contents out that is only compiled in for debug, i.e. subject of a #define. Removes the need for the unitiated to go searching for the util method but doesn't rely on the data object keeping a string representation up to date on every change.

For a Java/Eclipse environment there is the "Expressions" view in the debug perspective which can be used to execute a set of run-time supplied code snippets each time the execution is paused , e.g. SDOUtil.printDataObject (dob) , so that pretty much gives the convenience of the embedded string representation without the performance overhead (or for less frequent update you can use the "Display" view). Do you have something similar in your development environment? On 07/08/06, Pete Robbins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think the SDOUtils method is the way to go.
