How do you print an address?

The safest way is to use printf() (or fprintf() or sprintf()) with the %P specification. That prints a void pointer (void*). Different compilers might print a pointer with different formats. Your compiler will pick a format that�s right for your environment. If you have some other kind of pointer (not a void*) and you want to be very safe, cast the pointer to a void*: printf( �%Pn�, (void*) buffer );

THIS IS FROM c.ravi sankar reddy,hai to ALL........we can print the address of a variable or a function using the following specifiers %u,%p here %u prints address in decimal form and %p prints in hexa decimal form,but remember these two format specifiers print only offset adress but they doesn't print code segment address
there is a another specifier %Fp which prints both the code segment and offset address

I tried both %p and %Fp. There is no difference, atleast in MS visual studio. Both are printing the same value.
