One of the nasty issues with LogProcessExceptions utility was that it was unable to attach to service processes and track them to catch their exceptions. The actual problem was that the processes were not listed in first place, so there was nothing to attach to. Access and security requirements necessary for a process to debug [...]

LogProcessExceptions: Minidumps on User Request
Posted: 19th July 2011 by Roman in ATL, Seriously, UtilitiesTags: .DMP, ATL, C++, debug, debugger, minidump, support, troubleshooting, utility
An updated version of LogProcessExceptions utility is given an additional option to create minidump .DMP files for debugged process on user request. This is in particular useful in conjunction with flag choices (on the previous page of the wizard). Download links: Partial Visual C++ .NET 2010 source code: Trac, Subversion Binaries: Win32 – LogProcessExceptions.exe, x64 [...]
LogProcessExceptions: Automatically Create Minidump Files on C++ Exception in Monitored Process
Posted: 18th May 2011 by Roman in ATL, Seriously, UtilitiesTags: .DMP, ATL, C++, debug, debugger, exception, minidump, support, troubleshooting, utility
LogProcessExceptions utility implements a very basic debugger which attaches (see DebugActiveProcess on MSDN) to a running process and monitors its exceptions. Once exception takes place the utility creates a minidump file for the process (see MiniDumpWriteDump on MSDN) so that exception condition could be investigated off-site using debugger. If you throw C++ exceptions in your [...]

Another example of a negligence with a cost of incompatibility and enormous amount of support time. Ahead Nero installs a number of DirectShow filters into $(Program Files)\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter directory. One of the files is NeResize.ax and it hosts a Nero Resize filter. Let us take a closer look: CLSID: {30002E0C-C574-481E-A5DE-90AE54A79E10} (note that Nero 8 ships [...]
Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered an internal error.
Posted: 5th December 2008 by Roman in Seriously, TechnologyTags: bug, C++, crash, debugger, visual studio
A picture for relaxation: It is probably a fresh bug there as it seems to be happening far more frequently with version 2008 (with ot without SP1) as compared to 2005. Luckily it has no effect to code being written, the problem clearly relates to debugger. At some point there is a crash, though which [...]
