Hi,
I was able to reproduce the problem with GDB 6.8, and CDT 5.
127-var-create - * *(((student).array_variable)+0)@5
It is the +0 that causes the problem.
It seems GDB does not like to do pointer arithmetic on
student.array_variable
because it is of type 'k'. If it was of type long[5], it would work.
This sounds like a special case to handle.
BTW, you can try it with DSF instead of CDI, this example did work with
DSF.
