[Quantlib-dev] Debugging dates

[Francois B. <ig...@gm...>]

Hi,

I was wondering how you guys debug Quantlib, specifically with reference to
the dates. I'm from a .NET background, so when I put a breakpoint, and add
some variables to my watches, the dates show in a human readable format.

In C++, the Quantlib dates show only as the internal serial number. In the
Visual Studio Immediate window, I can do someDate.year(), someDate.month()
and someDate.dayOfMonth(), but that is quite cumbersome to do every time I
want to see a dates human readable value.

How do you guys do it?
