Memory Hacking Software

Hello,
it seems that there are some problems with array of pointers with external memory variables. There are no problems with the same array of pointers with internal memory/variables. The following snippet gives an example:

Code: Select all

struct PointerArray {
BYTE* ptrByte [4];
}
PointerArray InternMem;
extern PointerArray ExternMem = { "", 0x400000 };
BYTE Octet=123;
InternMem.ptrByte[1]=&Octet;
PrintF ("Intern: %d (equals to 123)", *InternMem.ptrByte [1]);
Octet=*ExternMem.ptrByte[1]; //should read byte at [0x00400004], but gives error "Code emition failed!"
PrintF ("Extern: %d", Octet);

You will have to perform the dereferences locally. That means copy the array to a local and initialize a new extern pointer with the address of the dereferenced array index-of-choice.
