From: aneilson AT usa DOT net (Arthur W. Neilson III) Subject: exception problem 20 Dec 1997 13:24:29 -0800 Message-ID: <3.0.3.32.19971220103709.0082ca80.cygnus.gnu-win32@pop.netaddress.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I wrote a short program that dumps memory in hex format. It takes a hex address argument off the command line and displays the contents of that memory address on the screen in hex format like so: C:\gnuwin32\src\src\peek f000 0000F000 A5 85 A5 85 A5 85 A5 85 A5 85 B1 8A A5 85 A5 85 * ................. * 0000F010 A5 85 A5 85 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 * ................. * 0000F020 A7 85 A5 85 BB 89 A5 85 A5 85 5A 8B BB 89 A5 85 * ...........Z..... * 0000F030 A5 85 5F 89 5F 89 FA 88 5F 89 5F 89 DE 85 A7 85 * ..._._..._._..... * 0000F040 A7 85 5F 89 DE 85 5F 89 FD 88 DE 85 DE 85 BD 89 * ..._..._......... * 0000F050 A5 85 A5 85 A5 85 EC 8B 73 8C A5 85 5F 89 A7 85 * .........s..._... * 0000F060 38 90 55 90 A5 85 A5 85 A7 85 A5 85 E3 89 DE 85 * 8.U............. * 0000F070 A5 85 A7 85 5F 89 5F 89 DE 85 A5 85 A7 85 0F 89 * ....._._......... * 0000F080 12 89 A5 85 55 90 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 * .....U........... * 0000F090 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 A7 85 15 89 1E 2E 8E 1E 02 00 * ................. * 0000F0A0 80 3E 16 14 00 75 03 E9 EB 00 1F 45 55 8B EC 1E * ..>...u.....EU... * 0000F0B0 53 2E 8E 1E 02 00 80 FC 12 76 0A C6 06 45 14 00 * S........v...E.. * 0000F0C0 C6 06 46 14 00 80 3E 45 14 00 74 05 C6 06 46 14 * ...F...>E..t...F. * 0000F0D0 01 80 3E 4E 14 00 75 05 C6 06 4C 14 01 F7 06 EC * ...>N..u...L..... * 0000F0E0 14 02 00 75 08 F7 06 0D 16 02 00 74 18 80 3E 4E * ....u.......t..>N * 0000F0F0 14 00 75 11 60 06 0F A0 0F A8 9A 42 63 1F 01 0F * ...u.`......Bc... * et cetera .... anyways, I get an exception in the gnu-win32 handler when I try to display system memory areas, like low memory 00000417 for example (numlock status byte). What do I have to do to be allowed to examine any area of storage? - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
