Find the exact address of variable Buf

Question

As reference, I\'m using the following code:

#include 
#include 

int main (void) {
    char buf[100]; // ------> How do I find         


        

Answer 1

The & operator will work when gdb is set to C language mode (and Objective-C).

In any language mode you can use

(gdb) info address buf
Symbol "buf" is static storage at address 0x903278.

(The output does not correspond exactly to your code.) I am writing this answer because this question is found even by people looking for the answer for other languages (including myself). One can also always switch to the C mode by set language c, but the symbol names may be different after this change.
