Breakpoint on return

[Connell1]

While debugging in C#, I often find myself taking a method of the form:

string DoSomething(object val) { return SomeOtherMethod(val); }

and breaking it into multiple lines like:

string DoSomething(object val) { var result = SomeOtherMethod(val); return result; }

just so that I can set a breakpoint on the return and see the value. Would it be possible to make it so that on Debug builds, a breakpoint on a return statement would show the value that will be returned?

This would be an issue for another repo. I'm not sure which one, but maybe Roslyn?

[Connell1]

Okay. I'll it asking it on the Roslyn repo. Thanks.

And in fact, this feature already exists: the debug window should show "This method returned" after a method call.
