2d char array only returns the first element

[xuyumeng]

Hi, I was trying to access a c++ variable defined as

char str_array[3][8] = {"A1", "B1", "C1"};

but the cppyy only returns the first element A1

The problem can be reproduced by the following

cppyy.cppdef('char str_array[3][8] = {"A1", "B1", "C1"};')
type(cppyy.gbl.str_array)
# returns: str
cppyy.gbl.str_array
# returns: 'A1'

How can I access the whole array?

What version of cppyy is this? Current release shows type(cppyy.gbl.str_array) to be a <class 'cppyy.LowLevelView'> not str?

I'm using pyROOT. The cppyy by default is 1.6.2. I will ask the developer of pyROOT if it is possible to upgrade cppyy.

Thanks!

Yes, the ROOT folks use an ancient fork of cppyy and that's out of my hands. Good luck!
