    how to watch variable address with variable value in code block

    I have successfully installed code block on my window computer. I also compiled and debugged the code. I can watch variable value but I don't understand how to watch variable address with variable value.

    How do you watch variable address with variable value ?

    Having setup a watch point on a pointer variable, use the context menu to then say "dereference".

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    can we see the address of the variable in the debug window without declaring the pointer?

    If you don't declare pointer pcount then how would you see address of variable count

    You can right-click on the watched variable, choose properties and change the watch expression to whatever you want.
