memoryoffset
Memory offset is a non-negative distance, usually measured in bytes, from a base address to a target memory location. It is a fundamental concept in memory addressing, used to locate elements within data structures, map devices, or calculate effective addresses in various programming and hardware contexts.
In programming, offsets arise when working with arrays, structures, or pointers. For an array base address B
Offsets also appear in multi-dimensional arrays. The memory offset for an element depends on the array layout
In CPU architectures, offsets are part of addressing modes such as base+offset (displacement) addressing. The effective
Security and correctness considerations include ensuring offsets stay within allocated bounds to avoid out-of-bounds access, which
Related concepts include memory address, pointer arithmetic, and addressing modes. Memory offsets are a core tool
