Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to tell whether a memory address belongs to the heap or 
not.

In other words, I would like to make sure that the address does not reside 
within any stack frame (even if the stack of the thread has been allocated in 
the heap) and that it’s not a global variable or instruction.

Checking whether it is a valid or correctly allocated address or a 
memory-mapped file or register is not a goal, so accessing it in order to 
decide, at the risk of causing a segmentation fault, is an accepted solution.

I have been thinking of manually checking the address against the boundaries of 
each active stack frame, the start and end of the instruction segment and the 
locations of all global variables.

However, I would like to ask where there are better ways to approach this 
problem in LLDB.

Thank you very much, advance! πŸ™‚
