FriendFeedMaking the Visual C++ 6.0 debugger not 'step in'

Thankfully, the debugger gurus at Microsoft seem to have seen this problem, too. As a quick warning, this feature is not documented and was just 'mentioned' by Andy Pennell in his presentation entitled 'Power Debugging with Visual C++ 6.0', given at the Boston '99 Visual C++ Developer's Conference. It also only works in Visual C++ 6.0.
Open up your autoexp.dat file -- in Common\MSDev98\Bin -- and add a new section named ExecutionControl to the end of the file and then add lines of the form: function=NoStepInto
[ExecutionControl] CString::CString==NoStepInto CString:::operator==NoStepIntoThese three lines will cause the debugger not to step into the CString contructor or assignment operator. As is standard for any modifications to this file, you have to shut down and reload Visual C++ for this to take effect.

Attention: only one =, not two == before 'NoStepInto'

I've tried to use the NoStepInto feature to prevent the debugger from stepping into the STL vector::operator[] function, which it does all the time if you use STL a lot.
I tried (one at the time, of course):
[ExecutionControl]
std::*=NoStepInto
std::vector::operator[]=NoStepInto
std::vector<*>::operator[]=NoStepInto
_STLD::vector<*>::operator[]=NoStepInto
_STLD::vector<Layer*,_STLD::allocator<Layer*> >::operator[]=NoStepInto
The first line being recommended by one of the other comments and the last line being what the call stack window displays. None of them works.
Would somebody know how to do this?
Thanks,
Maarten.

You can also use namespaces:
ATL::*=NoStepInto
std::*=NoStepInto
coomplete class
CString::*=NoStepInto
ReplyGreat! This was exactly what I've missed since years...

... and of course was as usually nowhere documented by Microsoft...

Does anybody know the format for template classes and template functions?

operator new=NoStepInto
; MFC
CObject::operator new=NoStepInto
CString::*=NoStepInto
CSize::*=NoStepInto
CPoint::*=NoStepInto
CRect::*=NoStepInto
ReplyCString:::operator==NoStepInto too many colons?

I am assuming that
CString:::operator==NoStepInto
should really be
CString::operator==NoStepInto
Is this correct?
