I've spent way to much time this morning getting gdb to laboriously
print several hundred structures from an array (hitting return after
every eight or so) and once again I find myself longing for a way to
tell the Xcode debugger my pointer is really an array. This seems to
come up every so often in the list archive and it still tempts me to
try to get CodeWarrior to build my code. For example, here's a
request from a couple years ago that could use a bump...

I have recently moved from CodeWarrior to XCode, and while the
environment of XCode is quite nice for the most part, there are
some glaring omissions. One thing which I have been quite unable to
figure out how to do is to display an array within the debugger. In
CodeWarrior, I could click on, say, a variable defined as a pointer
to an integer. I could view this as hex, view this as decimal, OR
view this pointer as an array... the debugger would show me a
window with a list of array items if interpreting that pointer as
the array ptr.
Is there ANY way to do this in XCode? It would be terribly
inconvenient and slow to have to manually peek at each item offset
from my pointer each time I want to examine an array's values.
Right now Xcode doesn't have the ability to interrogate the array
and show the items inside :( We have gotten many request for better
inspection of container-style classes (many on the team want it too)
and we want to provide this in a future version of Xcode.
