在Qt Creator中将指针显示为数组，其中CDB用于调试器

Question

Edit 2: If it's not possible, I will award the bounty to an answer that proves it (I mean provides some credible sources that back the claim that it's not possible).

---

Let's say I have a pointer to an array, for example:

int arr[3];
int *p = new int[3];

I can see all the elements of arr , but only the first element of p . How can I see all 3 elements of p ?

I tried the various suggestions from the answers from View Array contents in QtCreator and View Array contents in Qt Creator debugger , however they didn't work for me:

I assume this is because I'm on CDB, while the other 2 questions are for GDB. Is it possible to achieve the same for CDB?

Edit: I forgot to mention, but p,3 also doesn't work.

Answer 1

Add into Expression Evaluator (menu Window->Views->Locals and Expressions)

(int(*)[3])p

That works fine in Qt Creator 3.2.1 Based on Qt 5.3.2 (GCC 4.9.2, 64 bit) Built on May 10 2016 at 17:53:15.

Answer 2

You can use *(p+1) and *(p+2), to access the other two element.

Edit: @sashoalm You need to do this below:

int *pindex[3];
for(int j=0; j< 3;j++){
    pindex[j]= p+j;
}

Then you will be able to see all your p in the debugger.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

To see all element of *p:

1. Right Click On Local and Expressions.
2. enter *(p+1) and *(p+2).

So, You can see all three elements.
