Viewing Pointers to Arrays

Totalview® User Guide : PART II Debugging Tools and Tasks : Chapter 9 Examining and Editing Data and Program Elements : Changing a Variable’s Data Type : Viewing Pointers to Arrays

Suppose you declared a variable vbl as a pointer to an array of 23 pointers to an array of 12 objects of type mytype_t. The C language declaration for this is:

mytype_t (*(*vbl)[23]) [12];
