Getting address of variable using baseaddress and offsets

Question

I am trying to get the address of a global variable from a target program. I can get the baseaddress of the target program using PsGetProcessSectionBaseAddress.

Target Program Code:

#include <iostream>

MyType myObject;

int main(){
    ...
}

How do I get the offset of myObject (I can't figure how with offsetof because it requires a type for the variable to be inside of), and once I get the offset can I just add the offset to the baseaddress to get the address of the variable since it's global?

Answer 1

By offset, do you mean address of? Just use the address of operator & in that case. If you mean offset from base address it's just a basic subtraction of n = (addr - base_addr) .
