CLR SPY: Feature requests for the next version

Now that I'm set up at my new blogging home, I'd like to get some feedback from anyone who has used the CLR SPY tool that I've uploaded to gotdotnet.com and blogged a lot about in the past.

We're investigating shipping the tool in the .NET Framework SDK, and would like some feedback on what you do/don't find useful about it.  The Whidbey CLR will have a larger set of CLR Debug Probes (CDPs) than what v1.1 has, and these will all be exposed in the updated tool, of course.  But do find the “monitoring“ behavior of the tool useful?  Are the balloon notifications annoying?  etc. etc.

Thank you in advance!

    How about a CDP for calling code on the wrong thread? This is particularly relevant to Windows Forms code. Would it be possible to do a CDP for not calling EndInvoke on a delegate?

    The ballon notifications but in the end what I really want is a report listing all the problems. The log is OK for that but I'd rather be able to pull up the ClrSpy UI and see a history/log of issues.

    Thanks, Keith. Ian Griffiths also asked for such a CDP here: http://blogs.msdn.com/adam_nathan/archive/2003/08/23/56745.aspx We'll see what can be done. I'll pass along both of your requests.

    Yes, I'm definitely planning to have a simple table that logs all messages that you can clear, sort, etc.

    I'm working on an OPSEC LEA client. Rather stupidly, they need you to reference struct pointers in their DLL's.

    I'm getting around this at the moment by going

    #pragma unmanaged

    __declspec( dllimport ) extern OpsecEntityType *LEA_CLIENT;
    __declspec( dllimport ) extern OpsecEntityType *LEA_SERVER;

    #pragma managed

    I'd like clearer documentation on

    a) if this is supported

    a2) if not, why it's a really good idea to refactor your code to use accessor functions

    a3) If yes, how to do this in a supported way, linked off a related links page in MSDN or platform SDK.

    DllImportAttribute and the marshalling area of P/Invoke simply don't go into it at all, and it's the sort of gotchya that will make or break some projects.
