Changing the Address of Variables
Displaying Declared Arrays
TotalView displays arrays the same way it displays local and global variables.
In the Stack Frame or Source Pane, dive on the declared array. A Variable
Window displays the elements of the array.
CLI: dprint array-name
Displaying Allocated Arrays
The C Language uses pointers for dynamically allocated arrays; for example:
int *p = malloc(sizeof(int) * 20);
Since TotalView doesn’t know that p actually points to an array of integers,
you need to do several things to display the array:
1 Dive on the variable p of type int*.
2 Change its type to int[20]*.
3 Dive on the value of the pointer to display the array of 20 integers.
Displaying the argv Array
Typically, argv is the second argument passed to main(), and it is either a
char **argv or char *argv[ ]. Suppose argv points to an array of three pointers
to character strings. Here is how you can edit its type to display an
array of three pointers, as follows:
1 Select the type string for argv.
CLI: dprint argv
2 Edit the type string by using the field editor commands. Change it to:
$string*[3]*
CLI: dprint {($string*[3]*)argv}
3 To display the array, dive on the value field for argv. (See Figure 203 on
page 322.))
Changing the Address of Variables
You can edit the address of a variable in a Variable Window by editing the
value shown in the Address field. When you edit this address, the Variable
Window shows the contents of the new location.
You can also enter an address expression such as 0x10b8 – 0x80 in this area.
