Viewing single element of a structure across an array of such structures

[acar]

Hi, in my development work I often have the need to view a particular element of a data structure across an array of such structures. For example, if I define an array of example structures as below:

type(example)

logical::test

integer::i,j,k

real(8)::x,y,z

end type (example)

type(example)::examples(10)

Then I might want to view examples(1:10)%test. This does not seem to be possible in debug mode since if I type examples(1:10)%test into the watch window I get the error 'examples(1:10)' is not a structure. This is possibly illogical since one can assign examples(1:10)%test=.false. for example.

Question: Is there a quick way round this or, if not, is this a feature that might be included in future versions?

Thanks, ACAR.

This is an existing feature request, ID DPD200045287. I will add your request to it. I don't know of a way around this at present.

Thanks Steve. I can cope at present but I would certainly use such a feature.

Me too please!

As of Parallel Studio XE 2017, you can now watch an array element or section of a component. You can't assign to an array slice this way, but can assign to individual elements.
