Areas of memory (<void> Data Type)

TotalView uses the <void> type for data of an unknown type, such as the data contained in registers or in an arbitrary block of memory. The <void> type is similar to the int in the C language.

If you dive into registers or display an area of memory, TotalView lists the contents as a <void> data type. Further, if you display an array of <void> variables, the index for each object in the array is the address, not an integer. This address can be useful when displaying large areas of memory.

If desired, you can change a <void> into another type. Similarly, you can change any type into a <void> to see the variable in decimal and hexadecimal.
