memory-address

I have acquired a memory location from DirectX where my vertex information is stored. An extremely convenient way to deal with vertex information is to use a std::vector<> of a struct containing vertex info. Given that I have a pointer to a large buffer, could I use a std::vector to manage the elements in the buffer? Constructing a std::vector regularly causes it to have its own address, which isn't really what I want. Could I use operator placement new somehow? Yousf Yes you can. Use custom allocator . In this allocator return address of your DirectX memory. Here is a complete examlpe based

Suppose I have the following array: int list[3]={2,8,9}; printf("%p,%p,%p",(void*)&list[0],(void*)&list[1],(void*)&list[2]); Is it always guaranteed that &list[0]<&list[1]<&list[2] ? I had assumed it to be a hard and fast rule while using C, but now have to very sure about it as an OP just asked me about it when I answered his question about endianness Little endian or Big endian What gave me second thoughts is the stacks can grow up or down issue.I am not very sure about that so your rigorous answers are appreciated.Thanks. Yes, it's guaranteed that &list[0]<&list[1] and &list[1]<&list[2] .

Is there is a way to get the address of a register? For example, the address of the eax register (not it's content). There has been architectures where low addresses were used to designate CPU registers, like the Univac 1100 series of computers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIVAC_1100/2200_series Current x86 hardware doesn't work that way, so you cannot get the address of the EAX register - it just doesn't have one. Registers are the internal processor storage. They do not have memory addresses, because they do not reside in memory . You identify them by their names: EAX, for example. That

I'm back again, frustrated and desperately searching for help :D. I am trying to create a cheat for a simple program, it's basically going to be a .dll file which will change an integer's value from the main program when it's injected to it using its base address. The thing is, I can't find it using cheat engine mainly because there are multiple level pointers with NEGATIVE? offsets. for example: //Starting pointer address 0x0033FCF0 -> 200 //Finding second level pointer using "Find out what's accessing this address" in Cheat Engine **(mov eax,[ebp+08])** // **EAX=0x00000007** , **EPB

I know that I am supposed to set mem=MEMORY_LIMIT . But I do not know where to go, during runtime, or during boot time, in order to set a limit to the total physical memory that the OS has control of. I am running I/O benchmarks, and I would like to limit the amount of overall physical memory that is available. I found the answer I was looking for. Basically, the parameter that sets the total available physical memory is "mem=MEMORY_LIMIT". And this is a kernel boot parameter. You need to add, say "mem=1G" for maximum of 1GB available physical memory to the kernel boot parameter. For more info
