I was thinking of a potential feature that could help in comparing values for a structure before and after a function has been executed. If there was the ability to snapshot the state of a structure's layout, you could snapshot it before executing a function and then compare the structure afterwards with the snapshot. This could help to highlight some specific differences and potentially provide some insight into how a larger function may influence a given structure.

I suppose this could already be done by copying the memory to somewhere else and just comparing the (possibly nested) structure manually from there. There may even already be a better way to do this that I haven't noticed!

Interested to hear if anyone thinks this could be useful.

add the address twice, right click one address and "lock" it (this makes a 'shadow copy', right click and you can see the address of the copy as well as unlock it), then change the values.

There we have it, I find a new feature in CE every time I get back to it, so I thought I'd be missing something.

Thanks mate.
