How can I find out the base address of a debuggee process in Visual Studio C++ debugger?


Say, I just loaded my executable in the Visual Studio C++ debugger and triggered a breakpoint. I have a "fault offset" where the app crashed, that I'm assuming I need to add to the base address where the app loaded up at to get the spot where it crashed.

So how do I get that base address from the VS IDE debugger?

PS. The app was not compiled or changed in any way.


Solution

  • Open the Modules window from the Debug | Windows | Modules menu. This shows a list of all the modules (the EXE and the DLLs) and includes their load addresses.
