// I made this example after noting that I was unable to display an unsized // static class array. It turns out that gcc 4.2 will emit DWARF that correctly // describes the PointType, but it will incorrectly emit debug info for the // "g_points" array where the following things are wrong: // - the DW_TAG_array_type won't have a subrange info // - the DW_TAG_variable for "g_points" won't have a valid byte size, so even // though we know the size of PointType, we can't infer the actual size // of the array by dividing the size of the variable by the number of // elements. #include typedef struct PointType { int x, y; } PointType; class A { public: static PointType g_points[]; }; PointType A::g_points[] = { { 1, 2 }, { 11, 22 } }; static PointType g_points[] = { { 3, 4 }, { 33, 44 } }; int main (int argc, char const *argv[]) { const char *hello_world = "Hello, world!"; printf ("A::g_points[1].x = %i\n", A::g_points[1].x); // Set break point at this line. printf ("::g_points[1].x = %i\n", g_points[1].x); printf ("%s\n", hello_world); return 0; }
