Cannot check array[0].lengh variable in debugger

[barriern]

Hi everyone.

I have an issue when trying to debug a program that contains 2D array. If I try to put breakpoints checking for array[0].length, it fails with:

Breakpoint condition 'array[0].length > 0' error: Cannot evaluate because of compilation error(s): length cannot be resolved or is not a field.

After somme diggining, it seems that the debugger considers the array[0] object as a double:

Breakpoint condition 'array[0][0] == 0' error: Cannot evaluate because of compilation error(s): The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolved to double.

Do you have any idea on how to solve this?

Thanks

Nicolas

I just found a similar issue (#1244), which seems to be unresolved at this time.

see #1244 (comment). The workaround might be to declare your array as double array[][] (not double[][] array).
