Improvements, including disruptive changes to log points

[zero-plusplus]

The format to output the current variable is as follows.

• {AutoHotkeyVariableName}
• {Object:DEPTH}
• {{MetaVariableName}}

With the change in the evaluation method for conditional breakpoints, I would like to make the following changes.

• {expression}

Expressions will support four arithmetic operations, functions, etc., as shown in the example following.

;  basic arithmetic operations
num_1 := 1
num_2 := 2
; @Debug-Output => {num_1 + num_2} = 3

; Object Manipulation
obj := { a: "a", b: "b" }
; @Debug-Output => {ObjCount(obj)} = 2
; @Debug-Output => {ToYaml(obj)}

; The following is an alternative to `{Object:DEPTH}`
obj2 := { a: { b: { c: { d: "" } } } }
depth := 3
; @Debug-Output => {Retrieve("obj2", depth)}

; The following is an alternative to `{{MetaVariableName}}`
; @Debug-Output => {Retrieve("{hitCount}")} = 2

This approach seems like it could be quite powerful, with the appropriate functions.

I have been looking for a way to output a numeric value as hex. Visual Studio permits this with format specifiers such as {dwFlags,x} to print dwFlags as hex within a breakpoint message, or just dwFlags,x in a watch. Something like {hex(dwFlags)} would fit with your idea above, although not as convenient.

I had never heard of format specifiers before. Thanks for the information.

This Issue relies on the creation of a parser, so implementation is quite a ways off.

However, I think format specifiers are a very good idea because they are easy to implement and can be used without modification after the Issue is implemented.

Opened as a separate issue on format specifiers.
