转换指针以构造到数组

Question

I have a dynamically allocated array of structs.

I want to cast it to an array type so my debugger will show the whole array.

Is it possible?

I know that this cast is not a good idea, but it's only a cast for expression evaluation of the debugger. –

• I want to cast it to an array type so my debugger will show the whole array. Is it possible?

Yes. For example, if you allocated array of 100 elements of type t_my_struct then cast pointer to t_my_struct => pointer to array of 100 elements of type t_my_struct :

t_my_struct * Dynamic = ( t_my_struct * )calloc( 100, sizeof *Dynamic );
t_my_struct (* Static)[ 100 ] = ( t_my_struct (*)[ 100 ] )Dynamic;

Now you can see Static as static array in debugger. Works in MSVC.
