I am looking at a code dump from IDA pro. There is a function which as this layout:
garbled_name(int this...
unsigned int v5 ;
v5 = *(_Byte *)(this + 4);
...
What I am really curious about is what exactly the ‘+ 4’ is doing? Is this an addition or something else?
Thanks
The code takes the integer ‘this’, adds 4 to it, casts it to a pointer to a byte, and then sets ‘v5’ to the value of the byte at that address.
