So this code does nothing more tahn pollying with processor counter?

This code does nothing at all. Well, it obtains performance counter and performance frequency but then doesn't use them for any purpose.

Then all lines i added have no outcome so far, My idea was to learn a bit and then try to make a program that finds adresses by pointers in separate processes.
Then it would have delay control and ammount control and it would try to add for example 0.001 in every 500microsec to some adress in another process.
Also it could have button to add 1 more value and save option so all pointers would be stored.

How good skill it would take to make program i describe and how long average person obtains knowledge for that high skill?
Or are similar program already avalible that i describe?

Could you more clear explain what you mean by "program that finds adresses by pointers in separate processes" and why you think it is possible?

i ment that if pointers are directing to adresses and their values, then values would be chagned with small increasments and small delay would repeat this process.

I didn't ask you about "delay"
I asked you

What did you mean by "separate processes"?

In addition to what VictorN said ...

Reading and writing to/from addresses across different processes is very difficult. I would say the skill level is very high.
