One thing that isn't obvious to me is if the "Struct Visualizer" window can let you follow pointers and open other windows to view the struct/class that they reference.

I have used the equivalent feature in DDD a lot.



(The Seer author here)

The StructVisualizer can follow *pointers. The default method is to view the struct/class that is pointed at in the same visualizer.

You can RMB click on the pointer in the StructVisualizer to open a second visualizer for that pointer.

I know this is a bit aways from how DDD worked. DDD has a nice way of "graphing" the struct/class tree, including any referenced struct/class that come from pointers.

Who knows, it may be in my plans :^)


I really miss DDD! It'd be great if there's a rewrite of it somehow with sane UI/UX. It was great when debugging pointer-heavy code, although I guess this has long gone out of fashion except for niche scenarios like DB indices...
