Memory, Disassembly, Hex views

To view raw memory of the running process, select a variable in the Variables pane and press or call Show in Memory View from the context menu.

The Memory View window initially shows a 256-byte region that starts from the chosen address, with higher memory addresses at the bottom of the window. When you then invoke Memory View for other pointers, they are highlighted in the same window, and the region is extended to show more addresses if necessary.

When you step through the code, RustRover highlights the changes that happen in the displayed memory region.

Use the Go to field of the Memory View window to jump to a particular address. You can enter the address directly as a hex number, specify a pointer variable or an expression evaluating to a pointer, or use the address of operator & to get the address of any variable. Use the Take the address link to quickly wrap variables into the addresses:

During a debug session you can open the disassembled code

While in disassembly view, you can investigate your code using regular stepping actions and breakpoints.

Use the Go to field to jump to a desired code line. In this field, you can enter an address or any expression that can be evaluated into an address. If you need to include a register into the expression, start its name with $ (the GDB notation). Using registers in the Go to field while debugging with LLDB requires explicit cast to address. For example, (void *)($pc + 0x8).

You can examine hexadecimal representation alongside the original formatting for numerical variables of integer types. By default, hexadecimal view is disabled.

Enable/disable hexadecimal view

1. In the Debug tool window, click the button and select/deselect Debugger Settings | Show Integers as Hex Values.

   

Once enabled, in the Variables pane, you will see hexadecimal values displayed next to the original values:
