Does the immediate window provide a nice way to display a primitive array?


I dynamically assigned an array as follows:

unsigned char **nonces=new unsigned char*[n_cases]

Is there a way to nicely print it out in the immediate window? Alternatively, it would be nice to make the locals window display it properly.


Solution

  • Standard problem with C arrays, not even the debugger can know how long they are. You have to tell it that with a watch expression like nonces[0],12. You tagged this with C++/CLI, it is not a problem with managed arrays:

    array<array<unsigned char>^>^ nonces = gcnew array<array<unsigned char>^>(n_cases);
    nonces[0] = gcnew array<unsigned char>(42);
    // etc..
