RE: To see a memory location using gdb

[Gerrit Van Dyk]

If the memory you are pointing to, points to a char then do "p (char *)ptr"
else cast the pointer to the specific type it points to. (void *) is just a
pointer to something, so gdb does not know how to interpret the value the
pointer points to.

Hi every body,
 I was looking for a GDB news group and i can found only this one.
There is one void * ptr. And if i want to see the memory content what
can i do? If i try print ptr, then i can see the memory address
(suppose it is 0xc0c8ab0). Please help.

Mem
