How do i inspect a string a pointer is pointing to when stepping through a program using gdb A pointer 0x000000c000012090 point to a byte slice []b. I can see the a pointer is pointing to 0x82c6e10
I know it is a string Hi all how i print the value at a memory location as string How do i print it
Ask how large the maximum offset is that gdb prints in a symbolic address Then you can determine the name and source file location of the variable where it points, using ‘ p/a pointer ’ This interprets the address in symbolic form. Gdb prints memory addresses showing the location of stack traces, structure values, pointer values, breakpoints, and so forth, even when it also displays the contents of those addresses
For example, this is what a stack frame display looks like, with set print address on: For pointers that point to a local variable, `p/a' does not show the symbol name and filename of the referent, even with the appropriate set print options turned on Other settings control how different kinds of objects are printed: For pointers that point to a local variable, `p/a' does not show the symbol name and filename of the referent, even with the appropriate set print options turned on.
Null is (usually) just 0 cast to a void pointer, right Have you tried with 0 in place of null?
