Dump analysis

[HungryCPPDev]

Hello All, I have a hang dump from client. But the corresponding pdb are not available as it is a legacy project. Is it possible to know whether my components are responsible for this hang without pdb's. Thanks in advance.

It is possible, but without the PDB file, you will have to deal with memory addresses instead of symbols during analysis. It would take more time and patience, but it is definitely possible. All the best. :)

To a certain extent, yes. You need to set windbg to use Microsofts public symbol server, look in Windbg Help for symsrv. this will suck down pdbs for all MS components leaving yours and third party ones. Hopefully, you can see in the stack where your code is calling into MS code and therefore what part is hanging. of course you should archive all pdb files with the built exes. :)

============================== Nothing to say.

Hi, is there any good tutorial on how to analyze hang dump when there is no PDB. I googled but failed to get good one. Thanks for your help
