Hi all,

I have a little bit seen the representation of an array in memory with Windbg and SOS plugin.

Here it is the c# :

 class myobj{
  public int[] arr;
}
class Program{
  static void Main(string[] args){
    myobj o = new myobj();

    o.arr = new int[7];
    o.arr[0] = 0xFFFFFF;
    o.arr[1] = 0xFFFFFF;
    o.arr[2] = 0xFFFFFF;
    o.arr[3] = 0xFFFFFF;
    o.arr[4] = 0xFFFFFF;
  }
}

I break at final of Main, and I observ :

0:000> !clrstack -l

OS Thread Id: 0xc3c (0) ESP EIP
0015f0cc 0043d1cf test.Program.Main(System.String[]) LOCALS: 0x0015f0d8 = 0x018a2f58 0:000> !do 0x018a2f58 Name: test.myobj MethodTable: 0026309c EEClass: 00261380 Size: 12(0xc) bytes (C:\Users\admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\test\test\bin\Debug\test.exe) Fields: MT Field Offset Type VT Attr Value Name 01324530 4000001 4 System.Int32[] 0 instance 018a2f64 tab 0:000> dd 018a2f64 018a2f64 01324530 00000007 00ffffff 00ffffff 018a2f74 00ffffff 00ffffff 00ffffff 00000000 018a2f84 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 018a2f94 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 018a2fa4 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 018a2fb4 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 018a2fc4 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 018a2fd4 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

I can see that the header contains the size of the array (00000007) but my question is : what is the value 01324530 ?

Thanks !
