如何为Visual Studio 2012调试器编写自定义本机可视化DLL？

Question

在C++中为Visual Studio 2012调试器编写自定义本机可视化DLL需要什么？我想显示一个只能根据需要从类/结构计算的值,因此需要一个本机可视化DLL.Visual Studio 2012使用一种新方法来实现名为Natvis的本机可视化工具.截至目前,关于Natvis的信息非常少,尤其是使用Natvis调用可视化DLL.DLL将根据类/结构成员值计算显示字符串.

这是包含AddIn DLL的C++代码.我将文件命名为NatvisAddIn.cpp,该项目创建了NatvisAddIn.dll.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

#define ADDIN_API __declspec(dllexport)

typedef struct tagDEBUGHELPER
{
    DWORD dwVersion;
    HRESULT (WINAPI *ReadDebuggeeMemory)( struct tagDEBUGHELPER *pThis, DWORD dwAddr, DWORD nWant, VOID* pWhere, DWORD *nGot );
    // from here only when dwVersion >= 0x20000
    DWORDLONG (WINAPI *GetRealAddress)( struct tagDEBUGHELPER *pThis );
    HRESULT (WINAPI *ReadDebuggeeMemoryEx)( struct tagDEBUGHELPER *pThis, DWORDLONG qwAddr, DWORD nWant, VOID* pWhere, DWORD *nGot );
    int (WINAPI *GetProcessorType)( struct tagDEBUGHELPER *pThis );
} DEBUGHELPER;

typedef HRESULT (WINAPI *CUSTOMVIEWER)( DWORD dwAddress, DEBUGHELPER *pHelper, int nBase, BOOL bUniStrings, char *pResult, size_t max, DWORD reserved );

extern "C" ADDIN_API HRESULT MyClassFormatter( DWORD dwAddress, DEBUGHELPER *pHelper, int nBase, BOOL bUniStrings, char *pResult, size_t max, DWORD reserved );
extern "C" ADDIN_API HRESULT MyStructFormatter( DWORD dwAddress, DEBUGHELPER *pHelper, int nBase, BOOL bUniStrings, char *pResult, size_t max, DWORD reserved );

class MyClass
{
public:
    int publicInt;
};

struct MyStruct { int i; };

ADDIN_API HRESULT MyClassFormatter( DWORD dwAddress, DEBUGHELPER *pHelper, int nBase, BOOL bUniStrings, char *pResult, size_t max, DWORD reserved )
{
    MyClass c;
    DWORD nGot;
    pHelper->ReadDebuggeeMemory(pHelper,dwAddress,sizeof(MyClass),&c,&nGot);
    sprintf_s(pResult,max,"Dll MyClass: max=%d nGot=%d MyClass=%x publicInt=%d",max,nGot,dwAddress,c.publicInt);
    return S_OK;
}

ADDIN_API HRESULT MyStructFormatter( DWORD dwAddress, DEBUGHELPER *pHelper, int nBase, BOOL bUniStrings, char *pResult, size_t max, DWORD reserved )
{
    MyStruct s;
    DWORD nGot;
    pHelper->ReadDebuggeeMemory(pHelper,dwAddress,sizeof(MyStruct),&s,&nGot);
    sprintf_s(pResult,max,"Dll MyStruct: max=%d nGot=%d MyStruct=%x i=%d",max,nGot,dwAddress,s.i);
    return S_OK;
}

以下是Visual Studio 2012调试器用于显示值的.natvis文件.将其放在.natvis文件中.我把它命名为NatvisAddIn.natvis.该文件指示VS 2012调试器调用NatvisAddIn.dll.该DLL包含两个可视化方法调用; MyClassFormatter格式化MyClass和MyStructFormatter以格式化MyStruct.调试器将在Auto,Watch或工具提示显示中为指定类型的每个实例(MyClass,MyStruct)显示方法的格式化值.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <AutoVisualizer xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/vstudio/debugger/natvis/2010">
    <Type Name="MyClass">
        <DisplayString LegacyAddin="NatvisAddIn.dll" Export="MyClassFormatter"></DisplayString>
    </Type>
    <Type Name="MyStruct">
        <DisplayString LegacyAddin="NatvisAddIn.dll" Export="MyStructFormatter"></DisplayString>
    </Type>
</AutoVisualizer>

将已编译的NatvisAddIn.dll文件和NatvisAddIn.natvis文件放入以下三个位置之一:

%VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers (requires admin access)

%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Visualizers\

VS extension folders

您需要确保存在以下注册表项且值为1:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \软件\微软\ VisualStudio的\ 11.0_Config \调试]

"EnableNatvisDiagnostics"= DWORD:00000001

如果一切顺利,您将看到natvis消息出现在Visual Studio的调试器输出窗口中.这些消息将显示Natvis是否能够解析.natvis文件.解析每个.natvis文件的结果显示在输出窗口中.如果出现问题,请使用命令"dumpbin/exports"仔细检查DLL方法的名称是否与.navis文件的Type =完全匹配.还要确保已将当前的.dll和.natvis文件复制到相应的目录中.

测试程序:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

class MyClass
{
public:
    int publicInt;
};

struct MyStruct { int i; };

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    struct MyStruct s = {1234};
    std::cout << s.i << std::endl;
    MyClass *c = new MyClass;
    c->publicInt = 1234;
    std::cout << c->publicInt << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
