How to debug macros efficiently in VS?

Question

I\'ve got a pretty complicated macro inside my (unmanaged) C++ code. Is there any way to expand macros in VS debugger? Or maybe there is another way to debug macros there?

Answer 1

If you want to see the expanded code generated by the preprocessor then you can get it using the -E flag using gcc. The command would be like this:

$ gcc -E  -o 

You can replace the original source code using macro with the expanded code and place whatever break point that you want to place there.
