I'm a .NET developer, but I have got quest - must find errors in Delphi project. After opening a project (Borland Delphi 7) and trying to debug it ('Run' menu), I've noticed all debugging options are inactive (gray). How can I make it usable? ...
Can you give an example of stack overflow in C++? Other than the recursive case: void foo() { foo(); } ...
What is the approximate ratio of time you typically spend debugging high-level versus low-level bugs? For the purposes of this discussion, high-level bugs are things like incorrect algorithms, bad assumptions about input data and/or operating environment, cases that were overlooked in the initial implementation of something, forgetting ...
I'm looking for a good way to tell my Cocoa application to quit itself. Rest assured that this will not be used for production code. I'm just looking for an easy way to run one test and then close the application during debugging. I have found that exit(0); will close the app, but it bypasses all of the normal application exit procedure...
I am interested in what useful things developers put in the user stream data structure that can be embedded in minidumps. MSDN describes the parameter for MiniDumpWriteDump as such: PMINIDUMP_USER_STREAM_INFORMATION UserStreamParam and describes the parameter thusly: UserStreamParam [in] Pointer to an array of MINIDUMP_USER_STREAM_...
Hi, I have a variable in my PHP application that changes often, I'd like to debug so that it keeps executing until the variable changes to a specific value (in this case boolean true). I've heard this could be done with expressions? True? ...
The following code seased to work. db.DBUsers.InsertOnSubmit(new DBUser { AllTheStuff = valuesBeyondYourWildestDreams } ); db.SubmitChanges(); My guess is something changed at the database and the submit is failing because the mapping is off. As the linq visualiser isn't working for me (bonus points for fixing that) I want to find...
I have a program failing with: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_alloc I imagine it's something to do with malloc/free, but I don't know which one. What breakpoint can I in gdb set that will break on the error so that I can view a stack trace? The program is a combination of C and C++,...
i am currently struggling with HTTP Session replication on tomcat with complex objects. some objects implement Serializable but hold non-serializable members. unfortunately, the stacktraces do not provide much useful info here by default. there is a flag -XX:???? to enable verbose class names in the stacktrace when a NotSerializableEx...
Hi, I have set up my system to automatically attach the visual studio debugger when a certain application is launched using these instructions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a329t4ed%28printer%29.aspx The problem is that I get a dialog box each time that requires me to confirm that I do indeed want to attach the debugger. Th...
My debugger keep jumping into debugging the IL instead of jumping to debug code of another assembly. How can I turn it off? ...
ASP.NET: How do you debug dynamically loaded user controls using LoadControl(string path); ...
I am playing with the registry programmatically for the first time, and it's not working that well (but at least I haven't destroyed my computer). Specifically, I keep getting back Error 5 (Access is Denied) from RegCreateKeyEx and RegSetValueEx. The thing that is strangest to me is that when HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\dir1\Sub Directory...
I'm analysing a deadlock that's occurring when using a native library alongside managed code. I'm using WinDbg to debug the problem with the intention of saving a dump such that the vendor might observe the issue on their premises. When attaching to the problematic process I see the following message before any call stacks: WARNING...
On one of my two computers I see following behaviour: Each time I press F10 (Step over) or F11 (Step Into) in the disassembler window, the focus is switched to the source view, resulting in next F10 / F11 done on the source level unless I switch focus back. Can anyone recommend me what settings to inspect, or what to try to stay in the...
I need to have some lines of code "active" in debug mode only, and ignored in release mode. Is there a way to do something like this: #include <iostream> using namespace std; #ifdef _TEST_ #define _cerr cerr #else #define _cerr // cerr #endif int main() { _cerr << "TEST message" << endl; } So that when _TEST_ is not defined, some...
Simple task, but for some reason no simple solution just yet. We've all got web.config files - and I haven't worked anywhere yet that doesn't have the problem where someone yells across the room "Sh*t, I've just uploaded the wrong web.config file". Is there a simple way of being able to auto generate a web.config file that will contain...
I am debugging some Java code with Eclipse 3.4.2. I have disabled all the breakpoints, yet the debugger still stops at a specific line. This point is several lines before a null pointer exception is triggered. Curiously, when I run the same code/run configuration, but not in the debugger, the null pointer exception does not occur. Also,...
I'm debugging a jnlp application, and I used to be able to remote debug it through eclipse, but not anymore. the command to start it is: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_14/jre/bin/java -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=1445 -Djnlpx.heapsize=64m,512m -DtrustProxy=true -Xverify:remote -Djava.security.policy=/lib/secu...
I'm having a very strange bug in Flex Builder where none of the changes I make are appearing when I debug/run my program. It only happens with a particular AS3 project, on others, it works fine. For example, I have a line,var x:int = this.prevX + this.x;, whose value is 400 if I don't make any changes. I change the line to var x:int = 0...
