debugging
What kind of safeguards do you use to avoid accidentally making unintended changes to your production environment?
Because we don't have a good staging environment we often have to debug issues on our production systems. We have web, application, and database servers. What kind of safeguards do you use to avoid accidentally making unintended changes to your production environment when doing this? EDIT: The application is a very complex B2B verti...
Good memory profiling, leak and error detection for Windows
I'm currently looking for a good memory / leak detection tool for Windows. A few years ago, I used Numega's Boundschecker, which was VERY good. Right now it seems to have been sold to Compuware, which apparently sold it again to some other company. Trying to evaluate a demo of the current version has been so far very frustrating, in th...
Is mod_wsgi/Python optimizing things out?
Hello all, I have been trying to track down weird problems with my mod_wsgi/Python web application. I have the application handler which creates an object and calls a method: def my_method(self, file): self.sapi.write("In my method for %d time"%self.mmcount) self.mmcount += 1 # ... open file (absolute path to file), extrac...
Updated OpenCV : no cam image with F5 but it works with Ctrl + F5 on visual c++ /winxp
I changed opencv (actually highgui) to allow the cvSetCaptureProperty with CV_CAP_PROP_FPS using the latest inputvideo lib. But now, when i run my application using F5 in debug or release mode the picture is black on visual c++ 2003 or 2008 express. But it works with Ctrl + F5 (and the frame rate is changed too). Do you have any idea why...

Anyone using yui logger to track yui events? Is there a way to filter it?
The problem that I'm having with it, is that it tracks all the events in the log reader, too. This makes it very difficult to work with. As I scroll up down, click or move in the reader to examine events, it's scrolling all over the place adding new events. Is there a way to filter it to only include certain events from certain sources? ...

Help! Why did MySql just screech to a halt?
Our relatively high traffic website just screeched to a halt, and we're totally stumped. We run on Django and Mysql (InnoDB), and we're trying to figure out why it's all of a sudden totally slow. Here's what we know so far: On our mysql server, a simple query (from django shell) runs fast. On our app server, a simple query (from django ...
Finding bugs by bisecting (searching) revision history, and untestable commits (revisions)
Most modern version control tools have a command to find a change that introduced a bug by binary search (bisecting) of a history. Such command might be built-in, or it might be provided as extension or plugin. Examples include git-bisect in Git, "hg bisect" in Mercurial (earlier available as hbisect extension), and bzr-bisect plugin for...

What can cause non-deterministic output in a program?
I have a bug in a multi-processes program. The program receives input and instantly produces output, no network involved, and it doesn't have any time references. What makes the cause of this bug hard to track down is that it only happens sometimes. If I constantly run it, it produces both correct and incorrect output, with no discerni...
How can I visualise the memory (SRAM) usage of an AVR program?
I have encountered a problem in a C program running on an AVR microcontroller (ATMega328P). I believe it is due to a stack/heap collision but I'd like to be able to confirm this. Is there any way I can visualise SRAM usage by the stack and the heap? Note: the program is compiled with avr-gcc and uses avr-libc. Update: The actual prob...

Monitoring API calls
I am doing some reverse engineering and want to know which APIs are called from the executable. I am mostly interested in the APIs called on a particular Windows system DLL. I guess one way to do that is to get all APIs exposed from the DLL using dumpbin and put breakpoints on all those from Windbg. Any other approach? This seems like...
