I have a project that consists of a C# application that calls into a couple of C++/CLI DLLs. If I have a Visual Studio C Runtime Library fatal error in the native code, there appears to be no way to catch it. To give a simple example, if I put this in the native code: wchar_t buf[1]; ::wcscpy_s(buf, 1, L"ab"); The app wil...
If I use a class/method like the one described here how can I get the description/address of the call at the top of the stack? Basically I want some value I can use in a call to our bug tracking system. I want to "uniquely" identify based on the address of the instruction that caused the exception. (It is usually something of the form...
I have a customer who is getting a 100% reproduceable crash that I can't replicate in my program compiled in Visual Studio 2005. I sent them a debug build of my program and kept all the PDB and DLL files handy. They sent me the minidump file, but when I open it I get: "Unhandled exception at 0x00000000 in MiniDump.dmp: 0xC0000005: Acces...
The MiscInfoStream in a minidump file contains the process create time. I'd like to find out how long the process has been running for before the crash. Does a minidump file contain the exception timestamp anywhere? WinDbg on this dump file displays the following, which implies that it's in there somewhere... Debug session time: Tue De...
I work on a large application, and frequently use WinDbg to diagnose issues based on a DMP file from a customer. I have written a few small extensions for WinDbg that have proved very useful for pulling bits of information out of DMP files. In my extension code I find myself dereferencing c++ class objects in the same way, over and ove...
Im trying to make a tool for my end users that can create a MiniDump of my application if it hangs (i.e. external to the app). Im using the same code as the internal MiniDumper but with the handle and processid of the app but i keep getting error code 0xD0000024 when calling MiniDumpWriteDump. Any ideas? void produceDump( const char* ex...
I'm new to WER (actually, just registered a few days ago). I've managed to establish an account and map my test application to it. However, when I invoke an unhandled exception, I see that no additional files are collected (there is proper report in Solutions center with BucketID <> 8, it is not arrived yet to winqual, but at least it ...
Hi, Can anyone explain me how SetUnhandledExceptionFilter method works in mini dump?? Thank You!! Regards, Isuru ...
Dear ladies and sirs. My application throws InvalidCastException in the QA environment, something I cannot reproduce in development. I wish to obtain the minidump at the exception moment. I know about adplus, but I am not sure how to use it so that it creates the minidump when InvalidCastException is thrown. Apparently, it does not dis...
I've read a lot of similar questions, but I can't seem to find an answer to exactly what my problem is. I've got a set of minidumps from a 32-bit application that was running on 64-bit Windows 2008. The 32-bit Visual Studio on my 32-Bit Vista Business wouldn't touch them at all, so I've been trying to open them in WinDbg. I don't have...
With the dump debugging support in .NET 4.0 we are looking into automatically (after asking the user of course :) creating minidumps of C# program crashes to upload them to our issue tracking system (so that the minidumps can assist in resolving the cause of the crash). Everything is working fine when using the WithFullMemory minidump t...
I've run into a particularly nasty bug where an ASP.NET website attempts to make a call to a WCF service method that sends IIS into a death spiral...that ultimately brings down the associated app pool. It never gets to our log4net code that outputs unhandled exceptions. I was watching w3wp.exe processes spin up and die, so I figured I'...
I've got a Windows minidump (C code) and a corresponding exe file. Unfortunately, I don't have the exact matching .pdb files, but I do have .pdbs that contain the exact same code just built at a different time. In Windbg, I can use: .symopt+0x40 To tell it to load anything, even mismatched symbol files. This works great in this partic...
I'm looking at a crash dump. Some variables seem perfectly viewable in windbg, while others just say "memory access error". What causes this? Why do some variables have sensical values while others simply list ? It appears that all the problems are associated with following pointers. I'm certain that while many of these pointers are uni...
