Displaying values of the std::chrono types

Now you can see values of the std::chrono types in human-readable form.

SLDB displays values of the std::chrono::duration types in the normalized form (months, days, hours, etc.). You can also see duration values in different time units.

There is a special handler for the std::chrono::system_clock type that displays values of associated time points in human-readable time format. You can also see distinct units of a system clock time point.

Displaying values of match results of regular expressions

SLDB displays values of the std::sub_match types as strings, and values of the std::match_results types as standard containers of the std::sub_match items. With this features, you can see matching results as a container of strings.

Displaying values of pointers and addresses of structures

Usually, in daily debugging, you don't need to know the values of C++ pointers and the addresses of C++ structures. However, sometimes that's necessary. In the 1.6 version, you can turn it on or off regarding your current situation and needs.

You can switch displaying the values of pointers and the addresses of structures in the context menu of the Locals and Watch panels in the standalone debugger. In the VS Code extension, it can be turned off or on using special parameters in the launch configuration of the target.

Launching without debugging on Android devices or emulator from the VS Code extension

Now you can launch in one click target application on an Android device or emulator from VS Code. The only thing you need is just to select the “Run Without Debugging” item from the VS Code menu. The VS Code extension will launch an application with parameters specified in launch configuration in settings.

Displaying correct position in source code on assertion failures in VS Code extension

When assertion failure occurs in a process being debugged, the VS Code extension automatically selects the active call stack frame so that the current source code position points to the place of assertion failure but not into system calls.
