    Debugging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Disabling optimization of c++ files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To enable automatic disabling of optimizations, edit BuildConfiguration.xml<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>\n<Configuration xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.unrealengine.com\/BuildConfiguration\">\n    <BuildConfiguration>\n        <bAdaptiveUnityDisablesOptimizations>true<\/bAdaptiveUnityDisablesOptimizations>\n    <\/BuildConfiguration>\n<\/Configuration><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    This will disable optimization for all files that are checked out in perforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    UObject debugger object descriptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    It is easier to use Debugger uses UObject->GetName(). So if you will Rename() UObject, then debugger will conveniently show this nice name to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Non UObject debugger object descriptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    If you want nice debugger info about an object that is not a UObject and you can’t Rename this object, then you can use natvis file to override how debugger prints this object. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    natvis location<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. For game types: Open <Engine>Extras\\VisualStudioDebugging\\Unreal.natvis file and add entry for your object. This will work in Rider debugger. I am adding entry for my FMyObject<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. For plugin types: create a new file: <plugin name>\/Source\/<your module name><module name>.natvis<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<AutoVisualizer xmlns=\"http:\/\/schemas.microsoft.com\/vstudio\/debugger\/natvis\/2010\">\n\n<Type Name=\"FMyObject\">\n   <DisplayString>(Table={DataTableName} Row={RowName})<\/DisplayString>\n <\/Type>\n\n<\/AutoVisualizer><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      Where DataTableName and RowName are FName types in a struct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
