invalidate_dbgmem_contents(ea_t ea, asize_t size)
Invalidate size bytes of memory, starting at ea. If you want to invalidate the whole of a processes memory, set ea to BADADDR and size to 0.

Invalidating memory contents is essentially flushing the IDA kernel's memory cache for a process, which ensures you are accessing the latest memory contents from a processes memory. You should call this function after a process is suspended, or if you suspect the memory contents have changed.

Examples:
#include <dbg.hpp>
#include <bytes.hpp>

// Process must be suspended for this to work
// Get the address stored in the ESP register
regval_t esp;
get_reg_val("ESP", &esp);

// Get the value at the address stored in the ESP reg.
uchar before = get_byte(esp.ival);

// Invalidate memory contents
invalidate_dbgmem_contents(BADADDR, 0);

// Re-fetch contents of the address stored in ESP
uchar after = get_byte(esp.ival);
msg("%08a: Before: %a, After: %a\n",
esp.ival, before, after);
