Re: [c-prog] printing the address of a variable using cout

[Tyler Littlefield]

just use &, like:
int i=0;
cout << &i;
if you have a pointer:
int i=new int();
cout << i << endl;
works great.

Thanks,

  Subject: [c-prog] printing the address of a variable using cout


  Hi all,

  I am trying to print the address of a variable, not the contents of it.

  Using printf, I would say:

  printf("Allocated %ld bytes at %p\n", bsize+1, fbuf);

  but I want to use the C++ features using cout/cerr. I've tried the 
  following but get garbage:

  long int bsize = 1023;
  char *fbuf;
  fbuf = new char[bsize+1];
  if (fbuf)
  {
  cerr.flags(ios::dec);
  cerr << "Allocated " << (bsize+1) << " bytes at ";
  cerr.flags(ios::hex);
  cerr << fbuf << endl;
  delete [] fbuf;
  }

  I have searched but can only find ios flags for dec, hex, oct but not 
  for ptr. What is the "secret" here?

  ~Rick
