NSZombie crashing app when enabled on the iPhone

I added NSZombieEnabled to my executable's environment in order to track down an object that I'm over releasing. What I'm finding now, is that a part of my app is crashing that never has crashed before, only when NSZombieEnabled is toggled on. The moment I disable it, no crash occurs. I need to do forensics on my code, but what can this...

Debug MySQLs "too many connections"

Replicate Eclipse's "display tab" in my Java/Swing application?

So, I've got a Swing GUI that, for testing purposes (the other applications that my task will interact with aren't all developed yet), I'd like to be able to give a "debug console" to.

Actionscript 2 code stuck in memory?

I have noticed that the output from my trace statements & dynamic text fields (for testing) has been getting stuck in memory. Each time I publish, unless I have made a lot of changes to my code, the published SWF does not reflect my latest edits -- making my debugging process really frustrating. This is happening both in external classe...

debugging code run in a virtual machine using the host

Is there a debugger which works from a virtual machine's host? That is, instead of using interrupts inside the machine, I expect this debugger to recognize the virtual machine's OS routines, memory locations etc, and to recognize when the OS is launching a certian EXE. Then I want to be able to set hardware-like breakpoints per process ...

Easiest way to develop/debug a Windows Service in .NET

I'm developing a Windows Service in VB.NET 2008, but I feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm. To debug the service, I've added a 15 second wait to the initialization code, which gives me time to start the service and attach the .NET debugger before anything happens, so I can hit breakpoints and such. I really miss "integrated" debuggin...

weird IE bug?

hey, I've spent too much time trying to get this to work on IE 7. It's working on ff and the only errors coming up on validator are missing alt tags for images (9 errors). The entire site works except for this one part, and so I'm wondering if there's a weird float bug that I'm unaware of. I have a div with an image inside of it. Under...
