Struct TTF “$elide_” Members
Some STL classes are transformed to structures containing a member name with the prefix $elide_. By convention, STL TTFs use $elide_str for pointers to character strings and $elide_ptr for pointers to other types.
This prefix allows the debugger to display only that member in certain contexts.
In Figure 81, lit_int is a transformed local iterator for an integer.

Note that the $elide_ptr member value is reported both in the top-level view and in a tooltip. There is no need to drill down into the structure’s contents because the value is already displayed.
To see the actual $elide_ptr member and other, perhaps less important members of a transformed structure, expand lit_int in Figure 82, to view the bucket and bucket_count members as well.
