How to set NoStepInto for VS debugging

In debugging, it's always annoying to step into CString like classes as in most cases we don't need to get into there. There does exist solution to NoStepInto functions/classes you don't intend to step into:

1. Ahead of VS2010
1) Look into this article to add something into Registry: How to avoid StepInto unnecessary code area?

2) make use of autoexp.dat to add a section called "[executioncontrol]". Look into this article for details (I haven't verified this):Tune the debugger using AutoExp.dat

2. For VS2010

Two things have changed with the NoStepInto feature of the native C++ debugger in VS2010 compared to VS2008 (for a general intro see here):

• You don't have to put your rules in HKLM anymore: you might as well put them in HKCU (more precise in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0_Config\NativeDE\StepOver), which is of course much better
• If you put =NoStepInto things will no longer work: just leave it off.

Some examples (as entered in RegEdit)

• Name:10, Value: boost\:\:shared_ptr.*
• Name:20, Value: std\:\:.*

Note: for managed code, VS provides "Just my code" option.
