The log is generated by (from private AttributeGraph.framework) AG::Graph::print_cycle(unsigned int) const () so you can set symbolic breakpoint for print_cycle and, well, how much it could be helpful depends on your scenario, but definitely you’ll get error generated stack in Xcode.
According to ntstatus.h file, 0x4000001f (STATUS_WX86_BREAKPOINT) is an exception status code that is used by the Win32 x86 emulation subsystem. It (I suppose) means that you reached a breakpoint which is not exploitable. You should enable debugging unmanaged code.
Async pinned handles are strongly correlated with overlapped I/O in Windows. Which supports asynchronous reading and writing with ReadFile and WriteFile, using the OVERLAPPED argument. The device driver stores the passed buffer pointer and directly reads/writes from/to the buffer, entirely asynchronously from the program’s operation. The managed wrapper methods are BeginRead and BeginWrite. If the … Read more
The first step is to compile your program with -g to include debugging information within the executable: g++ -g -o myprog.exe mycode.cpp Then the program can be loaded into gdb: gdb myprog.exe A few commands to get you started: break main will cause the debugger to break when main is called. You can also break … Read more
Two ways: Embed $Id$ or $Revision$ within the code. Then set svn:keywords=”Id Revision” property on the file. This will give you the last modified revision of that source file. Good for smaller projects and scripts. Alternatively, use a Makefile driven process and the command line tool svnversion. (Language specific – this should work for C/C++) … Read more
There’s this excellent Q&A at WordPress Stack Exchange, lots of knowledgeable folks explaining their debugging techniques: How do you debug plugins? In the Javascript arena you basically need <script>console.log(‘the value is’ + variable);</script>. And use Google Chrome inspector and/or Firebug. In PHP, it depends on where things are happening or where you want the output. … Read more
Example of setting DebuggerDisplay for a foreign type (System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>) add the following to AssemblyInfo.cs: using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Diagnostics; [assembly: DebuggerDisplay(“[Key={Key}, Value={Value}]”, Target = typeof(KeyValuePair<,>))] (Tested in VS2015) Edit 2020: Was not able to reproduce the above for KeyValuePair<,> in VS2019 but it seems to be related to KeyValuePair<,>. For private member of non owned types … Read more
PDB files map an assembly’s MSIL to the original source lines. This means that if you put the PDB that was compiled with the assembly in the same directory as the assembly, your exception stack traces will have the names and lines of the positions in the original source files. Without the PDB file, you … Read more
I.1 Codesigning the Debugger The Darwin Kernel requires the debugger to have special permissions before it is allowed to control other processes. These permissions are granted by codesigning the GDB executable. Without these permissions, the debugger will report error messages such as: Starting program: /x/y/foo Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 28885: (os/kern) … Read more
