+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+
+ <p>The file <tt>utils/clangVisualizers.txt</tt> provides debugger visualizers that make debugging
+ of more complex data types much easier.</p>
+ <p>There are two ways to install them:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Put the path to <tt>clangVisualizers.txt</tt> in the environment variable called
+ <tt>_vcee_autoexp</tt>. This method should work for Visual Studio 2008 and above.
+ </li>
+ <li>Edit your local <tt>autoexp.dat</tt> (make sure you make a backup first!),
+ located in <tt>Visual Studio Directory\Common7\Packages\Debugger</tt> and append
+ the contents of <tt>clangVisuailzers.txt</tt> to it. This method should work for
+ Visual Studio 2005 and above.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p><i>[Note: To disable the visualizer for any specific variable, type
+ <tt>variable_name,!</tt> inside the watch window.]</i></p>
