view all the memory allocated to a process ?

view all the memory allocated to a process ?

[nikos chistou]

Hello ,
I'm new to GDB , and i'm thinking of using it for some cheat-engine related
tasks...

I want to know if there is a way to view all the memory allocated to a
process
(the regions or the offsets and their protection) , so i can dump it and
then compare the
results to find the right offset where the variable is stored.

Thanks in advance !

ps: sorry for my bad english.

this is offtopic for gdb.

And the standard glibc memory allocator does not provide allocated memory
introspection as it would reduce its performance.

You need to change the default allocator, you track the memory easily
yourself:
	info '(libc)Hooks for Malloc'
using some small .so loaded by:
(gdb) set env LD_PRELOAD=./myhook.so

Or rather check some tools like valgrind which may provide such functionality
out of the box (I do not know myself).
