Watching a C++ array in Visual Studio


I have declared an array as follows:

int *arr;

Is there any way in visual studio to watch all the elements of the array while debugging, rather than having to manually place watch for an element *(arr+1), *(arr+2) and so on.


Solution

  • If arr is a pointer to an array of ten integers, you can add "arr,10" to the watch window and when you expand it it will show the ten elements [obviously, you can replace the 10 with whatever the length of your array is].
