Description Dodji Seketeli 2008-02-08 10:11:28 UTC 
There should be a way for people to inspect their arrays. Maybe we could leverage on the memory visualisation widget somehow, I am not sure.
Comment 1 John Gateley 2008-02-08 19:44:07 UTC 
wchar arrays should display as strings (like char *)
Comment 2 Danielle Madeley 2008-08-23 07:50:10 UTC 
Some thoughts on this:

It would be nice for arrays to be displayable in some kind of aligned view (e.g. a list view) with element number and value.

For arrays of structures it would be nice to be able to have each structure element in a column. For numeric columns it would be nice to be able to find the max/min values (sorting?). If a column contains a pointer, it would be nice to be able to dereference all pointers in that column to another column/columns.

For static arrays, it should be possible to get the length automatically. For dynamic arrays it would be nice to be able to specify how to get the length, e.g. NULL-terminated; length stored in $variable; or just X entries.

I believe the work on GDB variable objects support (#573678) should somewhat help with this.

It would be really great to visual an array, please, please, pretty please?
