Currently I am dealing with UBER H3 DLL library.

The C header files were auto converted.

It leads to function/routine prototypes as follows:

SomeFunction( SomeOutput : Pinteger );

Then it get's called:

SomeFunction( @SomeVariable );

When hovering over @SomeVariable with mouse cursor during debugging all that is shown in the pop-up is the pointer value.

Completely useless and fucking annoying.

I want to know the value of SomeVariable that was passed back, not it's location in memory.

I see three possibilities to improve/fix this:

1. Show value of SomeVariable, instead of pointer value.
2. Make it configurable in Delphi options/settings or Project options.
3. Show both. Pointer and Content value.

Option 3 would be best.

Bye,
