Memory view

The Memory view allows you to monitor and modify your process memory. The process memory is presented as a list of memory monitors. Each monitor represents a section of memory specified by its location called base address. Each memory monitor can be displayed in one of the predefined data formats. If required, you can add more memory renderings to a memory monitor. Rendering can start with any valid address. Memory renderings are read-only.

To open the Memory view, click Window > Show View > Other... > Debug > Memory on the menu:

By default, the Memory view displays the layout and formats that were set in the previous debug session.

Add your memory monitors in the Monitors pane. The default rendering pane without addresses is displayed automatically. The addresses become visible after the first step in the debugger.
Add more rendering panes for a monitor. For each rendering pane, specify the rendering type from the list:
- Floating Point
- Traditional
- Hex
- ASCII
- Signed Integer
- Unsigned Integer
- Hex Integer

Warning: Expressions with the unary increment, decrement and assignment operators used in the Memory and Expressions views modify memory and may cause side effects.
