What I find a bit uncomfortably to show the memory when I have a pointer or a memarea in the variable list.
What I have to do now is:
- open memory viewer
- read the adress from the variable viewer
- write it as startmem in the memory viewer
- think about how large is the mem allocated here
- add this to the "-" field
- pray that I didnt make any mistake
... hard work, isnt it?
So heres my wish...
It would be great, if there is a memory stored into a variable or pointer, to right click in the variable viewer and in the popping up context menu there would be an option -> show memory....
This opens the memory viewer and shows the allocated mem at these adress.
Any chance for this?
Make it easier to show the memory from the variable viewer
Since PB 4.20, this is much simpler:
If your variable is called "*Buffer" and you want to view 100 bytes, then you just do this:
- open memory viewer
- enter "*Buffer" in the first field (no quotes)
- enter "+100" in the second field (no quotes)
- press display
The memory viewer can resolve variables and even more complex expressions, and the second field is interpreted as relative if it starts with a + (the second field can contain variables too btw)
I can add the menu entry, but it is already quite simple as it is.
