Displaying Areas of Memory

You can display areas of memory using hexadecimal, octal, or decimal values. Do this by selecting the View > Lookup Variable command, and then entering one of the following in the dialog box that appears:

An address

When you enter a single address, TotalView displays the word of data stored at that address.

CLI: dprint address

A pair of addresses

When you enter a pair of addresses, TotalView displays the data (in word increments) from the first to the last address. To enter a pair of addresses, enter the first address, a comma, and the last address.

CLI: dprint address,address

All octal constants must begin with 0 (zero). Hexadecimal constants must begin with 0x.

The Variable Window for an area of memory displays the address and contents of each word.

Figure 184: Variable Window for an Area of Memory

TotalView displays the memory area’s starting location at the top of the window’s data area. In the window, TotalView displays information in hexadecimal and decimal notation.

If a Variable Window is already being displayed, you can change the type to $void and add an array specifier. If you do this, the results are similar to what is shown in this figure.

You can also edit the value listed in the Value field for each machine instruction.
