Suggestion on Pretty-printer With Pointer Indirection

Type: Debugger

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: WSL Ubuntu 18.04
• VS Code Version: 1.44
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.27.0

This is a feature request. In current version of cpptool, we may utilizing pretty-printer to effectively look at the content of STL structures. However, this mechanism fails as soon as you wrap it with a pointer indirection as shown above.
May we add a feature so that we could find if an underlying type of a pointer could be printed in a better format? Also, if that involves a large amount of work, could we add a menu item Watch Pointee so that we could quickly add "*p" of any pointer-like object to the watch window so we could look at the content more easily?

Inizia riproducendo il comportamento segnalato nel debugger C/C++ di VS Code su WSL Ubuntu 18.04, usando lo screenshot collegato come contesto. Esamina come i pretty-printer gestiscono l’indirezione dei puntatori e considera la voce di menu richiesta Watch Pointee; il lavoro è completo quando i valori STL racchiusi in puntatori possono essere ispezionati in modo più efficace oppure è disponibile un’azione chiara per osservare il pointee.
