OK, maybe I've just missed it and if I have someone please tell me
where it is, but I'm dumbfounded that Xcode still doesn't have a
simple "View as array..." option in its debugger. Something like
CodeWarrior's would be nice where you right-click on a variable in the
variable list or ideally in the source view and select "View as
array..." which gives you a window where you specify the number of
elements you want to look at. With all the other major improvements
in Xcode 3 I really find it hard to believe that something so simple
and essential is still missing from Xcode.
I totally agree. It should've been in 1.0. I submitted radar://3539888
in January of 2004, asking for these items to be added to the variable
contextual menu:
View Memory (since been added or improved)
View as Array
C String
Pascal String
Unicode String
The 3 string types are important when you're looking at a chunk of
data that has string data in them somewhere. I'd now extend this to
UTF_8, UTF_16, and UTF_32 to cover all the bases.
I also agree that the Expressions feature needs to be a lot smarter
and more flexible (like editing an existing expression).
