I am using a rather obsure, proprietary langauge called WIL/Winbatch that had an awful IDE (winbatch studio). I would like to develop an alternative environment; however, without the ability to set breakpoints, step, and examine variables, there is really no point. How does one begin even researching how to implementing a debugger for ...
Hello Stackies, I'm deploying a Sinatra app using passenger. The deployed app is working, but not entirely: some paths work fine, others simply render a blank page. I can't seem to find any major differences between the routes that work and the routes that don't, and I can't seem to track down any errors.. Handlers I have defined the ...
Hi! I have a mixed mode application (managed and native) which has a high memory footprint. I already have found out that most of the memory is allocated by native code. I am not talking about a memory leak, but about a high memory consumption that occurs very early after the program starts and then is relatively stable. Are you aware ...
I'm debugging an intermittent problem in which an application (created using C++ in Visual Studio 2005) is faulting. The event log provides the following information: faulting module msvcr80.dll version 8.0.50727.1433 fault address 0x00008aa0 I did a Google search and found many other examples of applications crashing with this parti...
Is there a good way to debug "exited with code 5" runtime error on the iPhone Simulator? I know this must be a real NOOB question, but any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. I am trying to follow along with the "Build your First iPhone App" tutorial on DevCenter and it seems that I started getting the error when I tried to customize ...

Hello, I am working on trying to install and customize the OSS version of WikiHow (built on Mediawiki.) I am having a devil of a time getting even the basic feature set to work. The code is available here.. http://www.wikihow.com/x/wikihow-source-code.tar.gz ...
I'm trying to debug a method which among other things, adds items to a list which is local to the method. However, every so often the list size gets set to zero "midstream". I would like to set the debugger to break when the list size becomes zero, but I don't know how to, and would appreciate any pointers on how to do this. Thanks. ...
I am coming from a C++ background and am used to testing code by setting breakpoints, viewing variables in the debugger etc. I am now doing web development (using the symfony framework). what I really miss is not being able to set a breakpoint when a particular action is performed (e.g. a url clicked etc). Is there a FREE (GPL or other ...
When I am building packages, (on Gentoo, but that's not too important to this question) I get this warning that '-ggdb3' flag can 'break packages. I have yet to find an instance of when that is true. Although I once found some code which broke under different optimisation settings, that's different from including debugging symbols. ...

Hi, I am new to debugging and I'm very interested in knowing how to setup expressions in debugging environment. For example, if I want to see when a variable $a changes it value to non-empty, how would I find it out? ...
Is it possible to find any information about what a Python program running right now is doing without interrupting it? Also, if it isn't possible, is there anyway to crash a running Python program so that I can at least get a stacktrace (using PyDev on Ubuntu)? I know I should have used logs or run it in debug mode or inserted a state...

I've upgraded a windows form app from vb.net 2005 to 2008. I've gone into the project and told the debug to point to bin\Debug and active to point to bin\Release. Now when i change the mode to active, it puts the files in the release folder. when i change it to debug, the files are not put into the debug folder. I think it is putting...
I am investigating what is taking up lots of memory in my app. Using the !DumpObj command, I can get around the managed objects. But how do I do the equivalent for native objects? For example, this .NET object has a pointer to native code. I am stuck here... how do I do the equivalent of !DumpObj from here? I have all the source and...
Hi, I have a .net Windows application in the production that has no access to Visual Studio(standard edition), and the only thing they can install is the express edition, which does not have the Just-In-Time Debugging option (the one which has debug button when it crashes). So I was just wondering if there is a window application debug...
I have a custom Sharepoint workflow activity created in Visual Studio that works and logs properly in my test environment but fails in production with a generic "Error Occurred" message in the Workflow History list. In order to debug the activity (since remote debugging against production is a last resort), I implemented step-by-step lo...
When I build a release version of a project in Visual Studio 2008, it creates a .pdb file, e.g. for a simple WPF project it generates a .exe and .pdb file. I've always understood .pdb files to be for debugging, so I would expect them to be in the Debug folder but not the Release folder. And looking around at other StackOverflow questio...
So, I have a Makefile which runs different commands of how to build S/W. I execute make from within a MSYS / MinGW enviroment. I found for example, the sleep <seconds> command, but this only delays the execution. How can I make it wait for a key being pressed, for example? ...
