            Bug ID: 47766
           Summary: String formatter regex wrongly catching
                    multi-dimensional types as well.
           Product: lldb
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: All Bugs
          Assignee: lldb-dev at lists.llvm.org
          Reporter: chirag at raincode.com
                CC: jdevlieghere at apple.com, llvm-bugs at lists.llvm.org

For a simple C program,
struct b {
        char i[2][4];
};

int main() {
        struct b z;
        z.i[0][0] = 'F';
        z.i[0][1] = 'O';
        z.i[0][2] = 'O';
        z.i[0][3] = 0;
        z.i[1][0] = 'B';
        z.i[1][1] = 'A';
        z.i[1][2] = 'R';
        z.i[1][3] = 0;
        return 0;
}

while printing variable z, the type summary finder finds the summary provider
because it matches the regex "char [[0-9]+]" while looking for char [2][4] and
failing while printing due to not knowing how to handle the datatype.

(As per conversation on lldb-dev mail thread)The regex should be "char
[[0-9]+]$" with string terminator anchor to start matching at end to avoid
trying to print multi-dimensional data.
