"Who says you can't bottle experience? Between these covers is a
wealth of information: a clear, logical approach to finding and
eliminating bugs. This is an absolute must-have book for anyone who
develops, tests, or supports software for Microsoft Windows." "--
Bob Wilton, Escalation Engineer, Critical Problem Resolution Team,
Microsoft" "An excellent reference for both intermediate and
advanced debuggers: highly practical, and filled with tricks and
strategies. This book stands out from all other Win32 debugging
literature, thanks to its in-depth examples-including resolving
intricate problems like stack and heap corruptions." "-- Kinshuman,
Development Lead, Windows Core OS Division, Microsoft" The First
In-Depth, Real-World, Insider's Guide to Powerful Windows Debugging
For Windows developers, few tasks are more challenging than
debugging--or more crucial. Reliable and realistic information
about Windows debugging has always been scarce. Now, with over 15
years of experience two of Microsoft's system-level developers
present a thorough and practical guide to Windows debugging ever
written. Mario Hewardt and Daniel Pravat cover debugging throughout
the entire application lifecycle and show how to make the most of
the tools currently available--including Microsoft's powerful
native debuggers and third-party solutions. To help you find real
solutions "fast," this book is organized around real-world
debugging scenarios. Hewardt and Pravat use detailed code examples
to illuminate the complex debugging challenges professional
developers actually face. From core Windows operating system
concepts to security, Windows(R) Vista(TM) and 64-bit debugging,
they address emerging topicshead-on-and "nothing" is ever
oversimplified or glossed over! This book enables you to
- Master today's most powerful Windows debugging tools, including
NTSD, CDB, WinDbg, KD, and ADPlus
- Debug code that wasn't designed or written for easy
debugging
- Understand debuggers "under the hood," and manage symbols and
sources efficiently
- Debug complex memory corruptions related to stacks and
heaps
- Resolve complex security problems
- Debug across processes: identity tracking, RPC debugger
extensions, and tracking IPCs with Ethereal
- Find and fix resource leaks, such as memory and handle
leaks.
- Debug common thread synchronization problems
- Learn when and how to write custom debugger extensions
- Perform "postmortem debugging" using crash dumps and Windows
Error Reporting
- Automate debugging with DebugDiag and the Analyze Debugger
command
