Can a variable be modified by using it's name instead of it's address?

[BPere.1]

Hard coding address for variables could be problematic as the linker can move them during development. Is there a way to write a variable using its name instead of its address? The variables node has this information. How can I use the name in a templet to change the value of a variable?

Should be in object file as a symbol.​

Mayve start from what do you want to achieve rather than one method which might not be the best solution. Magling through object, map or elf file seems weird.

Yes, it is possible by using little helper function node. You can try my WriteByName v1.0 node (tested in STM32CubeMonitor 1.6.0).

How it works: on the first run all variable names are used to build global variables with JSON messages. Those JSON messages contain variable memory address and type. When buttont/text is entered, this JSON message "value" is modified and sent to "acq out" / "probe out".
