Debugging in VC++ : Watching Part of an array

[popel]

suppose int xyz[10000] is an array.
and we are using IDE Visual C++ 6.0

during debugging we can add xyz to watch window, it will show the whole array, when expanded.
If the array is large, it becomes slow when expanded and debugging becomes tiresome.

So how to view part of the array, say we want to watch
xyz[5500] to xyz[5599] only during debugging. is their any way ?

Something along the line of:
[c]
*(int (*)[100]) &xyz[5500]
[/c]
works with gdb.

Oi,Pops,
This works:
&arr[10],5

Suppose arr[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20}

then &arr[10],5 will show the following:
&arr[10],5
[0]=11
[1]=12
[2]=13
[3]=14
[4]=15

You have to simply give the address followed by a coma and then the number of members to be viewed.

PS: I think this is a new feature of VC++.Net 2003. I don't know if it works on previous versions.

xyz+5500,100
It seems it will work with VC++ 6.0, the debugger takes it but no effect.
casting the array to smaller size should work, but I couldn't make it work.

So I use the alternate way (its also casting)
[cpp]
int (*p)[100]; /* keeping this in code */
[/cpp]
during debugging when i need p = xyz+5500, makes it happen.

something like (int (*)[100])(xyz+5500) should also also work.... but I don't know why it says "missing operator"

Try "&xyz[5500],100"
(without the quotes)
The debugger will show 100 elements with indexes numbered 0,1,2.....
Item with index 0 will be xyz[5500], index 1 will be xyz[5501] and so forth.

I haven't tried on VC++ 6 though. I only have .Net 2003. Can't wait for 2005

Titir mia,
Who has told you that I use .NET ?

Well, you should.
