Developers who use .NET Framework languages are familiar with the Just My Code debugger feature that steps over system, framework, and other non-user calls and collapses those calls in the call stack windows. Just My Code has been extended to the C++ and JavaScript languages. This topic describes the specifics of using Just My Code in .NET Framework, native C++, and JavaScript projects.

Enable or disable Just My Code

To enable or disable Just My Code, choose Options and Settings on the Debug menu. In the Debugging / General node, choose or clear Enable Just My Code.

Enable Just My Code in the Options dialog box

Note

The Enable Just My Code setting is a global setting that is applied to all Visual Studio projects in all languages.

Override call stack filtering

In call stack displays, such as the Call Stack and Tasks windows, Just My Code collapses non-user code into an annotated frame labeled [External Code]. To view the collapsed frames, choose Show External Code on the context menu of the call stack display.

Note

The Show External Code setting is saved to the current user’s profiler. It is applied to all projects in all languages that are opened by the user.

.NET Framework Just My Code

User and non-user code

To distinguish user code from non-user code, Just My Code looks at symbol (.pdb) files and program optimizations. The debugger considers code to be non-user code when the binary is optimized or when the .pdb file is not available.

Three attributes also affect what the debugger considers to be My Code:

DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute tells the debugger that the code it is applied to is not My Code.
DebuggerHiddenAttribute hides the code from the debugger, even if Just My Code is turned off.
DebuggerStepThroughAttribute tells the debugger to step through the code it is applied to, rather than step into the code.

All other code is considered to be user code.

Stepping behavior

When you Step Into (Keyboard shortcut: F11) non-user code, the debugger steps over the code to the next user statement. When you Step Out (Keyboard: Shift + F11), the debugger runs to the next line of user code. If no user code is encountered then execution continues until the app exits, a breakpoint is hit, or an exception occurs.

Breakpoint behavior

When Just My Code is enabled, you can choose Break All (Keyboard: Ctrl + Alt + Break) and stop execution at a location where there is no user code to display. When this happens, the No Source window is displayed. If you then choose a Step command, the debugger takes you to the next line of user code.

Exception behavior

If an unhandled exception occurs in non-user code, the debugger breaks at the line in user code where the exception was generated.

If first chance exceptions are enabled for the exception, the user-code line is highlighted in green. The call stack displays an annotated frame labeled [External Code].

C++ Just My Code

User and non-user code

C++ Just My Code is different than .NET Framework and JavaScript Just My Code because the stepping behavior is independent of the call stack behavior.

Call stacks

By default, the debugger considers these functions to be non-user code in call stack windows:

Functions with stripped source information in their symbols file.
Functions where the symbol files indicate that there is no source file corresponding to the stack frame.
Functions specified in *.natjmc files in the %VsInstallDirectory%\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers folder.

Stepping

By default, only functions specified in *.natstepfilter files in the %VsInstallDirectory%\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers folder are considered non-user code.

You can create your own .natstepfilter and .natjmc to customize the stepping and call stack window behavior in the %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Visualizers.

Stepping behavior

When you Step Into (Keyboard shortcut: F11) non-user code from user code, the debugger steps over the code to the next line of user-code. When you Step Out (Keyboard: Shift + F11), the debugger runs to the next line of user code. If no user code is encountered then execution continues until the app exits, a breakpoint is hit, or an exception occurs.

If the debugger breaks in non-user code (for example, if a Break All command stops in non-user code), stepping continues in the non-user code.

Exception behavior

When the debugger hits an exception, it will stop on the exception regardless of whether it is in user or non-user code. The User-unhandled options in the Exceptions dialog box are ignored.

Customize stepping behavior

You can specify functions to step over by listing them as non-user code in *.natstepfilter files.

To specify non-user code for all users of the Visual Studio machine, add the .natstepfilter file to the %VsInstallDirectory%\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers folder.
To specify non-user code for an individual user, add the .natstepfilter file to the %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Visualizers folder.

.natstepfilter files are xml files with this syntax:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<StepFilter xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/vstudio/debugger/natstepfilter/2010">  
    <Function>  
        <Name>FunctionSpec</Name>  
        <Action>StepAction</Action>  
    </Function>  
    <Function>  
        <Name>FunctionSpec</Name>  
        <Module>ModuleSpec</Module>  
        <Action>StepAction</Action>  
    </Function>  
</StepFilter>

Element	Description
Function	Required. Specifies one or more functions as non-user functions.
`Name`	Required. An ECMA-262 formatted regular expression specifying the full function name to match. For example: `<Name>MyNS::MyClass.*</Name>` tells the debugger that all methods in `MyNS::MyClass` are to be considered non-user code. The match is case-sensitive.
`Module`	Optional. An ECMA-262 formatted regular expression specifying the full path to the module containing the function. The match is case-insensitive.
`Action`	Required. One of these case-sensitive values: - `NoStepInto` – tells the debugger to step over the matched function. - `StepInto` – tells the debugger to step into the matched functions, overriding any other `NoStepInto` for the matched functions.

Customize call stack behavior

You can specify modules, source files, and functions to treat as non-user code in call stacks by specifying them in *.natjmc files.

To specify non-user code for all users of the Visual Studio machine, add the .natjmc file to the %VsInstallDirectory%\Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers folder.
To specify non-user code for an individual user, add the .natjmc file to the %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Visualizers folder.

.natjmc files are xml files with this syntax:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<NonUserCode xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/vstudio/debugger/jmc/2015">  
  
  <!-- Modules -->  
  <Module Name="ModuleSpec" />  
  <Module Name="ModuleSpec" Company="CompanyName" />  
  
  <!-- Files -->  
  <File Name="FileSpec"/>  
  
  <!-- Functions -->  
  <Function Name="FunctionSpec" />  
  <Function Name="FunctionSpec" Module ="ModuleSpec" />  
  <Function Name="FunctionSpec" Module ="ModuleSpec" ExceptionImplementation="true" />  
  
</NonUserCode>

Module element attributes

Attribute	Description
`Name`	Required. The full path of the module or modules. You can use the Windows wildcard characters `?` (zero or one characters) and `` (zero or more characters). For example, `<Module Name=”?:\3rdParty\UtilLibs\” />` tells the debugger to treat all modules in `\3rdParty\UtilLibs` on any drive as external code.
`Company`	Optional. The name of the company that publishes the module that is embedded in the executable file. You can use this attribute to disambiguate the modules.

File element attributes

Attribute	Description
`Name`	Required. The full path of the source file or files to treat as external code. You can use the Windows wildcard characters `?` and `*` when specifying the path.

Function element attributes

Attribute	Description
`Name`	Required. The fully qualified name of the function to treat as external code.
`Module`	Optional. The name or full path to the module that contains the function. You can use this attribute to disambiguate functions with the same name.
`ExceptionImplementation`	When set to `true`, the call stack displays the function that threw the exception rather than this function.

JavaScript Just My Code

User and non-user code

Code classifications

JavaScript Just My Code controls stepping and call stack display by categorizing code in one of these classifications:

Name	Description
MyCode	User code that you own and control.
LibraryCode	Non-user code from libraries that you use regularly and your application relies on to function correctly (for example WinJS or jQuery).
UnrelatedCode	Non-user code that could be running in your application, but you don’t own and your application doesn’t directly rely on it to function correctly (for example, an advertising SDK that displays ads). In Windows Store projects, any code that is loaded into your app from an HTTP or HTTPS URI is also considered UnrelatedCode.

The JavaScript debugger automatically classifies these types of code:

Script that is executed by passing a string to the host-provided eval function is classified as MyCode.
Script that is executed by passing a string to the Function constructor is classified as LibraryCode.
Script that is contained in a framework reference, such as WinJS or the Azure SDK, is classified as LibraryCode.
Script that is executed by passing a string to the setTimeout, setImmediate, or setInterval functions is classified as UnrelatedCode.
The %VSInstallDirectory%\JavaScript\JustMyCode\mycode.default.wwa.json specifies other user and non-user code for all Visual Studio JavaScript projects.

You can modify the default classifications and classify specific files and urls by add a .json file named mycode.json to the root folder of a project.

All other code is classified as MyCode.

Stepping behavior

If a function is not user (MyCode) code, Step Into (Keyboard shortcut: F11) behaves as Step Over (Keyboard: F10).
If a step begins in non-user (LibraryCode or UnrelatedCode) code, then stepping temporarily behaves as if Just My Code is not enabled. As soon as you step back to user code, Just My Code stepping is re-enabled.
When a step in user code results in leaving the current execution context (such as doing a step on the last line of an event handler), the debugger stops at the next executed line of user code. For example, if a callback executes in LibraryCode code the debugger continues until the next line of user code executes.
Step Out (Keyboard: Shift + F11) stops on the next line of user code. If no user code is encountered then execution continues until the app exits, a breakpoint is hit, or an exception occurs.

Breakpoint behavior

Breakpoints that have been set in any code will always be hit regardless of the classification of that code
If the debugger keyword is encountered in:
- LibraryCode code, the debugger always breaks.
- UnrelatedCode code, the debugger doesn’t stop.

Exception behavior

If an unhandled exception occurs in:

MyCode or LibraryCode code, the debugger always breaks.
UnrelatedCode code, and MyCode or LibraryCode code is on the call stack, the debugger breaks.

If first chance exceptions are enabled for the exception on the Exceptions dialog box, and the exception is thrown in LibraryCode or UnrelatedCode code:
If the exception is handled, the debugger doesn’t break.
If the exception is not handled, the debugger breaks.

Customize Just My Code

To categorize user and non-user code for a single Visual Studio project, add a .json file named mycode.json to the root folder of the project.

Classifications are performed in this order:

Default classifications
Classifications in the %VSInstallDirectory%\JavaScript\JustMyCode\mycode.default.wwa.json file
Classifications in the mycode. json file of the current project.

Each classification step overrides the previous steps. A .json file does not need to list all key value pairs, and the MyCode, Libraries, and Unrelated values can be empty arrays.

My Code .json files use this syntax:

{  
    "Eval" : "Classification",  
    "Function" : "Classification",  
    "ScriptBlock" : "Classification",  
    "MyCode" : [  
        "UrlOrFileSpec”,  
        . . .  
        "UrlOrFileSpec”  
    ],  
    "Libraries" : [  
        "UrlOrFileSpec”,  
        . .  
        "UrlOrFileSpec”  
    ],  
    "Unrelated" : [  
        "UrlOrFileSpec”,  
        . . .  
        "UrlOrFileSpec”  
    ]  
}

Eval, Function, and ScriptBlock

The Eval, Function, and ScriptBlock key value pairs determine how dynamically generated code is classified.

Name	Description
Eval	Script that is executed by passing a string to the host-provided `eval` function. By default, Eval script is classified as MyCode.
Function	Script that is executed by passing a string to the `Function` constructor. By default, Function script is classified as LibraryCode.
ScriptBlock	Script that is executed by passing a string to the `setTimeout`, `setImmediate`, or `setInterval` functions. By default, ScriptBlock script is classified as UnrelatedCode.

You can change the value to one of these keywords:

MyCode classifies the script as MyCode.
Library classifies the script as LibraryCode.
Unrelated classifies the script as UnrelatedCode.

MyCode, Libraries, and Unrelated

The MyCode, Libraries, and Unrelated key value pairs specify the urls or files that you want to include in a classification:

Name	Description
MyCode	An array of urls or files that are classified as MyCode.
Libraries	An array of urls or files that are classified as LibraryCode.
Unrelated	An array of urls or files that are classified as UnrelatedCode.

The url or file string can contain one or more * characters, which match zero or more characters. * is the equivalent of the regular expression .*.
