How to put breakpoint in every function of .cpp file?

Question

Is there a macro that does it? Which DTE objects to use?

Answer 1

I don't know what DTE functions to use, but you could very simply record a macro that could pretty much do it:

1. Go to the top of the file
2. ctrl - shift - R (start recording)
3. ctrl - I (incremental search)
4. { (search for the first { character).
5. F9 (set breakpoint)
6. ctrl - ] (go to matching } character)
7. ctrl - shift - R (stop recording)

Now just run this over and over (ctrl - shift P repeatedly) until you reach the end of the file.

If you have namespaces, then change 4. to:

1. ( (search for "(" at the start of the function definition)
2. esc (stop incremental search)
3. ctrl - I (incremental search again)
4. { (start of function body)

This kind of thing can be infinitely modified to suit your codebase

Answer 2

Put this at the top of the file:

#define WANT_BREAK_IN_EVERY_FUNCTION

#ifdef WANT_BREAK_IN_EVERY_FUNCTION
#define DEBUG_BREAK DebugBreak();
#else
#define DEBUG_BREAK 
#endif

then insert DEBUG_BREAK in the beginning of every function, like this:

void function1()
{
    DEBUG_BREAK
    // the rest of the function
}

void function2()
{
    DEBUG_BREAK
    // the rest of the function
}

When you no longer want the debug breaks, comment the line

// #define WANT_BREAK_IN_EVERY_FUNCTION

at the top of the file.

Here's how something similar could be achieved in WinDbg:

bm mymodule!CSpam::*

This puts breakpoint in every method of class (or namespace) CSpam in module mymodule.

I'm still looking for anything close to this functionality in Visual Studio.

Here's a quick implementation of 1800 INFORMATION's idea:

Sub TemporaryMacro()
    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.StartOfDocument()
    Dim returnValue As vsIncrementalSearchResult
    While True
        DTE.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Object.ActivePane.IncrementalSearch.StartForward()
        returnValue = DTE.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Object.ActivePane.IncrementalSearch.AppendCharAndSearch(AscW("{"))
        DTE.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Object.ActivePane.IncrementalSearch.Exit()
        If Not (returnValue = vsIncrementalSearchResult.vsIncrementalSearchResultFound) Then
            Return
        End If
        DTE.ExecuteCommand("Debug.ToggleBreakpoint")
        DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.GotoBrace")
        DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.CharRight()
    End While
End Sub

Like Constantin's method... This seems like windbg territory.

Since you have the cpp, (even if you didn't you could script something to get by), it should be no problem to use logger part of the debugging tools for windows... it's a very handy tool, shame so few people use it.

logger debug's C/COM/C++ easily, with rich symbolic info, hooks/profiling/flexible instrumentation;

One way to activate Logger is to start CDB or WinDbg and attach to a user-mode target application as usual. Then, use the !logexts.logi or !logexts.loge extension command. This will insert code at the current breakpoint that will jump off to a routine that loads and initializes Logexts.dll in the target application process. This is referred to as "injecting Logger into the target application."

(This is not quite what you're asking for, but almost:)

You can put a breakpoint on every member function of a class in Visual Studio by bringing up the New Breakpoint dialog and entering:

CMyClass::*
