I'm currently learning windows.h lib. According to docs, it is possible to know the minimum and maximum program addresses by means of lpMinimumApplicationAddress and lpMaximumApplicationAddress fields of SYSTEM_INFO structure, GetSystemInfo() function. However, I'm wondering: is it possible to get program start and end address, using GetSystemInfo()? If possible, how? Thank you for advance.

If you mean the actual address that program terminates on (or whether it terminates at all), no. That is just a variation on the famous halting problem. And that has been proven to not have a general solution.

Minimum and maximum address are just what memory has been assigned to a process, but there could be many places in it that the program would terminate at, depending on the exact run parameters. And it might not even reach any of them.
