Question

I would like to see the structure of the memory, allocated to two different variables.
The attention behind this, is to understand how the memory is structured in order of storing different datatypes.

How is it done in C++?

//how to show, whats in memory in &var1 &var2 ?
short var1 = 2;
string var2 = "bla";

Answer 1

If you are using Eclipse, you can use the Memory View in the debug perspective.

Either that, or simply create a pointer to your variables and inspect the contents of those:

short var1 = 2;
string var2 = "bla";

char* pVar1 = (char*)&var1; //point to memory storing var1
char* pVar2 = (char*)&var2; //point to memory storing var2
