windbg

am new to programming and debugging in general. i spent a lot of time offline (without internet), and am reading Inside Windows Debugging book, but from time to time, i found myself in need to a pdb file. i did some digging and i found this URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463028.aspx , but too many versions, i spend some time trying to figure out how to find the right version. i did find the right build, and i did downloaded it, but no luck (took me more than 6 hour to download 200 Mb), but i found myself on the beginning of the circle (pdb are not the right one, even

There's no doubt it's an extremely powerful tool, but using it is a bit annoying. Even though the product is frequently updated, its GUI goes back to the Win95 days or so, and its usability is accordingly. Having to fight the GUI to layout the windows the way I want, and having to remember all those textual commands, is just quite low a standard for a modern desktop application. AFAIK, WinDBG is pretty much built on top of CDB, which is

Trying to load SOS in an x64 Assembly results, as expected, in the following error : Error during command: extension C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\sos.dll could not load (error 193) So, as WinDbg seems

I have been getting a stackoverflow exception in my program which may be originating from a thirdparty libary, microsoft.sharepoint.client.runtime.dll. Using adplus to create the crash dump, I'm facing the problem that I'm struggling to get any information from it when i open it in windbg.

The Question There are plenty of manual ways to make WinDBG find mscordacwks.dll without a symbol store (putting the file in the path somewhere, putting it in the same folder as windbg.exe, putting it in my Framework\v folder, specifying the path in WinDBG using .cordll -lp c:\dacFolder , etc.), but they all only fix it for me . I need to fix it more generally for everyone who uses my symbol store . The possible solutions I can imagine are: WinDBG be made to check the symbol store using mscordacwks.dll's subfolder name instead of mscorwks.dll's folder name. SymStore.exe be made to add

The problem : I need to make a script or an expression that that doesn't break if somewhere on callstack is a function with a specific name. Specific question : How can I get functions on callstack to a list of strings ? Example : Module!MyFunctionWithConditionalBreakpoint Module!Function1 Module!Function2 Module!Function3 Module!MyFunctionWithConditionalBreakpoint Module!Function1 Module!ClassA:MemberFunction Module!Function3 I want Module!MyFunctionWithConditionalBreakpoint to break only if the call cames from Module!ClassA:MemberFunction I need this in unmanaged code . Managed solution is
