c++ member arrays with variable size

[Jim Ingham]

Daniel's right, gcc generated stabs (regardless of platform) omits  
debug records for variable length arrays.  DWARF reports them as  
arrays of 0 size.  We've actually supported DWARF for a while -  
starting with Xcode 2.4.  If you are on Tiger, you might want to  
download the latest tools - Xcode 2.5 from Apple's developer site.   
There aren't any tools hosted on Panther or earlier that work with  
DWARF, so if you're still on Panther, you will have to upgrade to Tiger.
