linux - Disable randomization of memory addresses

Question

I'm trying to debug a binary that uses a lot of pointers. Sometimes for seeing output quickly to figure out errors, I print out the address of objects and their corresponding values, however, the object addresses are randomized and this defeats the purpose of this quick check up. Is there a way to disable this temporarily/permanently so that I get the same values every time I run the program.

Oops. OS is Linux fsttcs1 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 23:42:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Answer 1

On Ubuntu , it can be disabled with...

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

On Windows, this post might be of some help...
