C++ Pointers?

Say you know a memory location address (say 0x22ff70) and you want to know what is stored there (if anything), how do you go about printing the contents on screen?

C++ Pointers?
Casting, that is the magic of C++.

Good luck
Reply:U can store this address in a pointer. Get the value thro' *


I think its correct. I studied this long back. Sorry if am wrong
Reply:If you want to print the valud of a variable you "Printf("%i",varr). (For example)





If its a pointer you have to "Printff("%i";%26amp;point). You have to tell the printing function to print not the value of the pointer (0x22ff70 in this case) but the value of the address the pointer points :).
Reply:If you know exactly data type kept at this address, do the following:


...


known_data_type * ptr = (known_data_type) void_pointer;


// print your known data here...


...





In another case, you cah just cast this address to char* or unsigned char * and get some dump:


...


unsigned char * up = (unsigned char *) void_pointer;


dump( up, any_size_you_need_if you_know_it);
