typedef long k[5];

typedef struct students {
    int a_rollNumber;    
    k array_variable;
 //    long my_var[17];
} Students;

int main () {
      Students student;
      student.a_rollNumber = 3; 
    return 0;
}

Here while debugging if I use the gdb mi command
-var-create - * *(((student).array_variable)+0)@5
 
It gives me error saying 
(gdb)
-var-create - * *(((student).array_variable)+0)@5
&"Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.\n"
&"Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.\n"
^error,msg="Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean."
(gdb)
Is this the right way to create the expression in “-var-create” command? 

The above problem comes only while using typedef array else the “-var-create” command works properly
