How to get address of variable in a VxWorks Project

Question

VxWorks how to get address of local variable to see the memory contents.

Answer 1

This is like any other C environment: address of (local or global) var is &var.

Answer 2

It depends on the context. In a program, like mouviciel mentioned, simple use the address of operator (&).

If you are in a host or target shell, you can see global variables and static variables by simply entering the variable name.

-> var
var = 0x103b4188: value = 10 = 0xa
->

This gives you the address of the variable and the content. However, this would not work with a local (automatic) variable, as it is on the stack.
