Watches and Dynamic Arrays [Solved]

Is there a way to see if a dynamic array is loaded properly? I have
done a search, done the debugging settings and looked at the
GDB_Debugger_Tips and have tried the '^' to see the contents of the
array while the programme is runnning but nothing appears, just the
"No symbol in current context" message. Are there any workarounds? I
can see normal static arrays fine.

You can watch individual members of the array, but unfortunately not
the entire array.

To watch a member you might need the ^ operator (in 0.9.31 you should
not need it anymore)

There are hacks to inspect the internal data of the array.
Not tested it now, but from memory:
(^integer(yourarray)-1)^
(^integer(yourarray)-2)^

If integer does not work, then try longint
