Description Andrew Cagney 2007-03-23 21:03:02 UTC 
The ArrayType contains the code:

	public Object next ()
	{
	    if (type.typeId == BaseTypes.baseTypeChar)
		return new Character((char)v.getByte(idx * type.getSize()));
	    else if (type.typeId == BaseTypes.baseTypeShort)
		return new Integer(v.getShort(idx * type.getSize()));
	    else if (type.typeId == BaseTypes.baseTypeInteger)

this doesn't work - as the "type" could be a pointer, or some other more
abstract type.

Instead the iteratore should use "ByteBuffer.slice" to slice the underlying
array of bytes and then create a Variable from that.

struct is now supported, need to add pointers.
