   VS.NET, how to not step into certain functions
  Hi,Whilst stepping through code in Visual Studio its annoying to have to step into things like std::string constructor, etc.  I know there is a way to list out certain functions that it will then automatically step over, but I can't remember where it is.  I tried the usual google and msdn searches but cant come up with the right combination of search terms.Does anyone know how you do this?  I am pretty sure you just make a list of the functions to step over in one of the text-based visual studio configuration files, but which one?   And whats the exact syntax?Alan   
  Are you aware that there is a "step over" button that will not step into functions?   ;  This is not the same approach, but you can do a step over instead of step into. At work I basically just run my fingers on the function keys. F10 - Over, F11 - Into. I do a lot of pair development at work and have learned some tricks too. Run to cursor really helps. Set your breakpoint, break, run to cursor to skip a bunch of statements without setting another breakpoint. Hopefully this stuff helps - if you already knew this stuff, disregard... not trying to patronize, just be helpful! :)   ;  Not to forget "Shift-F11" -> step out of   ;  The problem is things like this:void someFunction(std::string str);...someFunction("hello, world");I want to step into someFunction, but that will first take me on a detour through the string constructor.  If the function takes multiple parameters I will have to step through all their constructors.Like I said, I know this is possible as I've done it before on a previous install of visual studio.  I just cant remember or find the right file/syntax.Alan   ;  Yo could step into the call, and when it goes to the string constructor, step out of it.  Or do you not even want to call up the source file at all, so stepping into it isn't acceptable?   ;  I gotcha now. Yeah, I'm not sure how to skip stepping through those inline functions such as the "string". I'd be interested in this too. Becomes a pain!   ;  http://www.litwindow.com/Knowhow/wxHowto/wxhowto.html#nostepinto   ;  I also am supremely annoyed by this.  I've been using the step out function but I'd rather not even step into STL (etc) at all if I can help it.  I was told during an interview how to do it but then promptly forgot before I could write it down at the end.So there is a way but I unfortunately can't remember.  :(   ;  The article How to Not Step Into Functions using the Visual C++ Debugger (on Andy Pennell's MSDN blog) explains how to tell VS debugger (6.0, 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0) to never step into particular functions.Hope it helps :)
