How to get the NAME of the out-of-bounds array...

| If I have a line that has many arrays (or functions which have their own arrays - even BRL's own) and I get an 'attempt to access array element beyond array length' error, how do I know which one it was? Is it possible to find the name of the array in question (Rather than spend possibly a large amount of time eliminating the other possibilities)? Sure would be handy! Thanks, Russell |

| I understand what you're saying. Generally my lines are pretty short (even if I *could* do it in one line I subdivide it for readability) so it's obvious which array is in error. If you supply an example I might be able to say how I would code the same. Might not help but you never know. |

| I, too, try to limit what I have on a line (and I comment super-liberally...), but occasionally having multiple arrays or array-references on a line can't be helped. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised that the name of the array isn't given on error. Seems like a no-brainer to me! Russell |

| You'll just have to separate the lines out to see which is the cause. |

| More than once a BRL function turned out to be the cause, and I won't be going into BMax's source code, thank-you-very-much! ;) Still, how hard could this be to implement? Wouldn't the name of the offending variable be included in BMax's thrown exception? Is there a way for ME to catch this during debugging? According to the docs, a TArrayBoundsException is thrown when an array is out of bounds. Can I catch this and get the variable name myself? If so, how might one do that (Runnable examples, please :) Russell |
