Comet AutoExp.Dat Support
There is a largely undocumented feature is Visual Studio 6 and 7 that allows you to create a dll 'ADDIN' that provides custom formatting for variables in the debugger. CometAutoExp.dll allows you to view simple automation types in more detail than currently provided internally by the debugger.By enabling this, you will get to see real date/times when you view datetime_t, you get to see SAFEARRAY types (including IIDs), and possibly their contents, you will see full VARIANT types, including SAFEARRAYs.
The file in comet/src/cometautoexp/AutoExp.dat shows the entries that will be needed to included in your own AutoExp.dat for this to work. (Usually found at "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\AUTOEXP.DAT")
See cometautoexpusage for more information on how to use this.
