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 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…
If you dare to convert your C++ ATL Service project created with an earlier version of Visual Studio to version 2010, as I recently did, you might find yourself surprised with why the hell the bloody thing does not work anymore as a regular executable. After passing compiler/linker and SDK update issues, which you possibly…
RasterizeFont utility takes a font on the input (such as Windows .TTF – True-Type Font) and paints individual characters into bitmaps. Utility output includes separate bitmap (.BMP) files for requested characters and C++ source code of the bimap arrays (this was included into microcontroller project). A configuration .INI file defines rasterizer parameters: [General] Width=48 Height=72…
ExportAviResources walks through AVI video clips attached as resources to a binary file and exports them into separate files. Such clips can be used with Animation Controls for GUI animations. You might want to run the utility against SYSTEM32/SYSWOW64 folders to see if any of stock animations are good for you: D:\>for %i in (C:\Windows\system32\*.dll)…
LogicalProcessorInformation is a fronend GUI around GetLogicalProcessorInformation API and reveals CPU configuration of the system. If you are fine tuning stuff, you might want to know what sort of CPUs are powering the applications: how many? fully featured cores or HyperThreading technology? mutli-processor configuration and how exactly physical processors are distributed over affinity mask API…
Windows Vista introduced new synchronization API: slim reader/writer (SRW) locks. Being already armed with critical sections, one perhaps would not desperately need an SRW lock, but still it offers a great option to provide both exclusive (critical section alike) mode and shared mode when 2+ threads can enter protected section simultaneously. Some time earlier, I…
