I'm switching between 6.8 and 7.2 and in the last few months it dawned on me that IDA 7.2 has a problem displaying the area addressed to by some types of pointers.
I find it strange that I don't remember this since the time I installed 7.2 and I wonder if it's because of some conflicting plugin.
e.g.
hover the cursor over:
rax -- it shows the data it points to (assuming rax is a pointer)
[rax] -- always shows 0
In general, it works when hovering over any kind of plain pointers but the moment they are wrapped in square brackets, it always shows zeroes.
v6.8 behaves properly.
Known problem or a conflict?
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
It's depressingly quiet in the forum. Is it left to go to ruins?
I hope not. It's one of the few clean and useful places I've come across.
Stay safe.
