I am an html coder, and I am still fighting a hard-to-reproduce crash in IE 8. Okay, I managed to get a crash dump out of it and I unpacked (decoded? deciphered?) it. Now I have a stack trace of what was happening before the crash and I want to find out what went wrong. It goes like this: BUGCHECK_STR: APPLICATION_FAULT_NULL_POINTER_RE...
My software recently got deployed to a customer who said that the application was crashing immediately after it started. After some initial debugging, the customer provided me remote access to one of the computers which was unable to run the application. I found that the crash wasn't specific to my application. Any application which d...
Hi everyone, I´m facing a huge problem since a couple weeks. I´ve an asp.net application hosted under IIS7 (W2008 SP1), and every a couple hours it starts consuming near 50% of the CPU when maybe there're no users connected. It´s understandable since we are using Quartz.net to make some application recicling, but we could not reproduce t...
If my application crashes at a customer site I'd like them to be able to send me a crash log with the minimal amount of hassle on their part. On OS X it's very easy: I can tell them where to find the crash log and send it. What is the best way to do this on Windows? Is Dr. Watson as good as it gets? Can I count on that being set up b...
Hi all, My dll is used by a module which dirtily catch all exceptions and just log it in to a file. My issue is that there is an access violation in a customer site which is reproducible only on its computer and I want get able this customer to generate a dump file for this issue. I tried to generate an AV in my dll and generate a dum...
Hello everyone, I am using Windbg to load a crash dump from managed code (C#, a console application built for Any CPU), and crash dump is created on x64 platform. I am debugging on x64 platform. I have put the related pdb file into symbol path. But Windbg always find the symbol from a strange folder, here is an example (when I got from ...
Hello everyone, I am using Windbg to load a crash dump from managed code (C#, a console application built for Any CPU), and crash dump is created on x64 platform. I am debugging on x64 platform. I have using the following command to load private symbol of my application. Here are what the commands I am using in Windbg. (set symbol pat...
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...
I'm using an ASIC simulator (vcs) that takes a bunch of different languages (Verilog, VHDL, Vera, C and Tcl in our case) and compiles them all into a C executable. Which is all great, right until it core dumps with a cryptic stack trace. What's the best way to approach debugging this? ...
Hi, I have a C# application which is crashing for unknown reason. For understanding the issue, i want to take a dump file for it. How can i do it? many thanks, Oz. ...
I tried use "PLCrashReport" to collect the crash info then make the app more stable, but turns out that the report is like this(dont even has a call stack,how am I suppose to use it?): The "Exception:" part,Exception: (null): (null), which should be "exceptionName" and "exceptionReason", at most time are "null", dont know why, sometimes...
Hi I am observing a crash within my application and the call stack shows below mfc42u!CString::AllocBeforeWrite+5 mfc42u!CString::operator=+22 No idea why this occuring. This does not occur frequently also. Any suggestions would help. I have the crash dump with me but not able to progress any further. The operation i am performi...
I would like to synthesise a native code fault. This is so that we can see where in particular some debugging output gets put when that occurrs. Pskill (from Sys-Internals) causes a graceful exit. DotCrash.exe doesn't seem to be available anymore from Microsoft directly. Is there any way to externally cause a crash in a process? ...
I got a crash in one of my MFC based windows service. When I analyzed the crash dump using windbg.exe, I got the following on the top of my stack trace. What is this error? 0094fad8 0040d18c mfc42u!CException::`RTTI Complete Object Locator'+0x10 ...
Looks like that on some clients our WinForms up crashes on startup. With some I mean very very rare. In one situation we found out that the Arial systemfont was corrupt and caused the crashed in the InitializeComponents on startup. Finding that our was very hard, the only clue was an event log entry that the System.Drawing module caused ...
The software that I write (and sell) is compressed and encrypted before I distribute it. Everytime I release a new build, I keep all the .map files and the generated binaries including the exe before it is compressed and encrypted. When it crashes on a client's machine I get a minidump back. I open these minidumps in Visual Studio and...
We have a desktop application using JNI that occasionally causes the JVM to crash. Luckily the JVM produces a hs_err_pidXXXX.log file, which is quite useful in debugging such errors. However, it always seems to go to the current working directory, and it's annoying to dig it from there, since our other log files all go to a specific "log...
Hi there -- Would appreciate some insight isolating this, some semi-repeatable crashes in an iPhone app of moderate complexity ... The crashes in question occur (sometimes, though not consistently) when pressing a UIButton on a particular screen within the app. (Not sure yet, though the issue may be manifesting itself more under lower...
