How to call string member function inside debugger?

[wenmang]

Hi,

I am debugging through a code and I like to know what is default memory
allocated by string default allocator when constructed through its
default ctor. I have stirng object, but cannot call upon it to access
its capacity:
debugger> p myData1

{

_String_base::_M_start=NULL

_String_base::_M_finish=NULL

_String_base::_M_end_of_storage=NULL

static basic_string::npos=4294967295

}
By looking at it, I have no clue how many chars(bytes) has been
allocated for it.

From that printout, I would guess no memory has been allocated. NULL

means nothing.
