Dereferencing Variables Automatically
In most cases, you want to see what a pointer points to, rather than the value of its variable. Use the CLI to automatically dereference pointers.
Dereferencing pointers is especially useful when you want to visualize the data linked together with pointers, since it can present the data as a unified array. Because the data appears as a unified array, you can use TotalView’array manipulation commands to view the data.
Automatic dereferencing can occur in the following situations:
When TotalView initially displays a value.When you dive on a value in an aggregate or structure.
