#2Just a clarifying note : this is the closed Visual Studio, and not free software - VS Code - which usually does the rounds on HN.
I'm far more excited about the LSP protocol for C++ which would bring like this to all IDEs.

#3I love this idea. I wonder if something similar could be ported/achieved for JavaScript!

#4Someone had a useful gdb trick in a previous post:

“”” with gdb 7.12 or later, you can exclude files matching a glob with "skip -gfile", e.g. "skip -gfile /usr/*" “””

Not exactly the same, but you can use blackboxing [1] in the Chrome DevTools to isolate code you’ve written from library/framework code in the debugger.

#7As a developer spending hours a day in Visual Studio with C++ as primary language this is a major improvement in terms of development time. Debugging is a a time consuming task in any language, but library headers from STD and Boost slow down the process tremendously.

Although it does help, I would say its only a bit faster than actually just setting a breakpoint of where you want the code to stop, and running till then, unlike Microsoft's example which shows 85 step intos, as if people actually do that.

It depends on the purpose of your debugging. If you know exactly where you want to go then, as you say, this has diminished value. but debugging can often be exploratory, in which case this feature could be a real timesaver.

#10It is funny how long this has been an issue and how I and so many people have given up stepping in and instead jump to the actual user function, set break point, and then step over at the source location, then unset the breakpoint and continue. A bunch of crazy steps which you end up doing again and again.
Needless to say, this improvement is much welcomed!
