Hello,

I posted this some time ageo without getting any answer. Therefore here once again:

When linking my application with debug information the symbols appear
now in a different form than before. They are displayed like "module::var"
instead of simply "var".

No problem so far, only slightly harder to read, because instead of short local variables you have "long_function_name::var" instead and this puzzles if there are some local variables in a function and you search one of them.

BUT annoying is the fact that MS Visual Studio isn't able to handle these symbol notation. Their names and values are displayed, but their values cannot be changed during the debug session, because the Studio Debugger doesn't know how to handle them.

Therefore I want to know, whether it's possible to change to the old simple notation?


Regards

Heinz-Peter

I know what the problem is. I'll see if I can fix it. -Walter
