How to display a dynamically allocated array in the Visual Studio debugger?
Yes, simple.say you have
char *a = new char[10];
writing in the debugger:
a,10
would show you the content as if it were an array.
There are two methods to view data in an array m4x4:
float m4x4[16]={ 1.f,0.f,0.f,0.f, 0.f,2.f,0.f,0.f, 0.f,0.f,3.f,0.f, 0.f,0.f,0.f,4.f};
One way is with a Watch window (Debug/Windows/Watch). Add watch =
m4x4,16
This displays data in a list:
Another way is with a Memory window (Debug/Windows/Memory). Specify a memory start address =
m4x4
This displays data in a table, which is better for two and three dimensional matrices:
Right-click on the Memory window to determine how the binary data is visualized. Choices are limited to integers, floats and some text encodings.
In a watch window, add a comma after the name of the array, and the amount of items you want to be displayed.
