string confusion CPP
Author
I have a class with a string member, lets say string Name;
I do Name="something"; in one method.
In the second method I do Name = "foo";
When I call the second method, the moment I press F10 on Name = "foo";
I see in the debugger that Name = {???} instead of the required string.
Why does this happen?
Thanks in advance.
The SC++L types might not be prettified by your debugger. Look at what's inside (including the internal character buffer, which should contain the correct value).

It also shows that npos is a very large number.
I didnt find anything that reminds the "foo" I assigned to Name.

Do you have any sort of optimizations turned on? Optimizations can mess with the debugger quite a bit.

Do you stop *at* Name = "foo", or do you go past it and still not see the name assigned. Also, which debugger are you using?
And string::npos is a static value that doesn't change throughout the life of the application. There is only one npos variable that is used to check for "not found" conditions in various string algorithms.

I use visual CPP 2003.
I don't use optimization and I go past the command.
To be more accurate, when I go past the Name = "foo"; command, the value showen is {???}.

You were right, I can see the string value in a _Ptr member inside the string structure.
