ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an economical, high performance, adaptable system and method for a type-specific data presentation by a development tool. In the preferred embodiment, one or more type-specific function name are found from the symbol table of the target program which might be able to display a data object. These type-specific function names are analyzed to determine if one and only one such name is able to display the data object and if so the found function name is used to call that function to display the data object. In the preferred embodiment the development tool is a debugger for C++ target programs.
