Hi,

I'm trying to dump memory from my application where the variables lye. Here's the function:


void MyDump(const void *m, unsigned int n)
{
        const unsigned char *p = reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char *>(m);
        char buffer[16];
        unsigned int mod = 0;

        for (unsigned int i = 0; i < n; ++i, ++mod) {
                if (mod % 16 == 0) {
                        mod = 0;

                        std::cout << " | ";

                        for (unsigned short j = 0; j < 16; ++j) {
                                switch (buffer[j]) {
                                        case 0xa:
                                        case 0xb:
                                        case 0xd:
                                        case 0xe:
                                        case 0xf:
                                                std::cout << " ";

                                                break;

                                        default: std::cout << buffer[j];
                                }
                        }

                        std::cout << "\n0x" << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(8) << std::hex << (long)i << " | ";
                 }

                buffer[i % 16] = p[i];

                std::cout << std::setw(2) << std::hex << static_cast<unsigned int>(p[i]) << " ";

                if (i % 4 == 0 && i != 1)
                        std::cout << " ";
        }
}

Now, how can I know from which address starts my process memory space, where all the variables are stored? And how do I now, how long the area is?

For instance:


MyDump(0x0000 /* <-- Starts from here? */, 0x1000 /* <-- This much? */);
