分步执行发布代码有什么意义吗?我注意到省略了一些代码行,即一些方法调用。此外,变量预览不会显示某些变量,并且会显示其他一些变量的无效(非真实)值,因此这一切都具有误导性。
我在问这个问题,因为将 WinDbg crashdump 文件加载到 Visual Studio 会带来与步骤执行相同的堆栈和变量部分视图。除了在没有优化的情况下重新编译应用程序之外,有什么方法可以改善故障转储分析体验?

是的 - 如果您有构建的 .pdb 和崩溃中的 .dmp 文件,那么您可以在确切的故障点打开调试器,并检查您的应用程序在该点的状态。
正如一些人所指出的 - 一些变量将被优化掉,但如果你有轻微的创造力/好奇,你会找到获得这些值的方法。
您可以为您的代码构建一个根崩溃处理程序,以自动生成一个 .dmp 文件,该文件适用于所有 Windows 风格(假设您正在创建一个 Windows 应用程序),使用如下所示:
// capture the unhandled exception hook - we will create a mini dump for ourselves
// NOTE: according to docs, if a debugger is present, this API won't succeed (ie. debug builds ignore this)
MiniDumper::Install(
true,
filename,
"Please send a copy of this file, along with a brief description of the problem, to [insert your email address here] so that we might fix this issue."
);
以上将需要我在下面编写的 MiniDumper 类:

// MiniDumper
//
// Provides a mechanism whereby an application will generate its own mini dump file anytime
// it throws an unhandled exception (or at the client's request - see GenerateMiniDump, below).
//
// Warning: the C-runtime will NOT invoke our unhandled handler if you are running a debugger
// due to the way that the SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() API works (q.v.)
//
// To use this facility, simply call MiniDumper::Install - for example, during CWinApp initialization.
//
// Once this has been installed, all current and future threads in this process will be covered.
// This is unlike the StructuredException and CRTInvalidParameter classes, which must be installed for
// for each thread for which you wish to use their services.

对于这不是一个简单的解决方案,我深表歉意。我的 Toolbox 库的其他部分存在依赖关系。但我认为这将大大有助于为您提供有关如何从您的代码中自动内置“捕获崩溃小型转储”的正确想法,然后您可以将其与您可以制作的 .dsp 文件结合起来开发周期的正常部分 - 因此当 .dmp 进入时 - 您可以使用从发布版本中保存的 .pdb 启动调试器(您不分发!)并且您可以调试崩溃条件容易地。
上面的代码是许多不同来源的混合体——来自调试书籍、MSDN 文档等的代码片段,等等。如果我遗漏了归属,我没有恶意。但是,我不相信上述任何代码都是由除我自己之外的任何人创建的。
只重新编译感兴趣的文件而不进行优化:)
一般来说:
至少不是 IA64 转储...
除了拥有完整的转储和私有符号之外,您真的无能为力。现代编译器对您的代码有很大的兴趣,并且几乎无法识别,特别是如果您添加了类似LTCG的内容。
我发现有两件事很有用:
沿着堆栈向上走,直到你对“this”真正指向的内容有一个很好的锚定。大多数时候,由于注册表优化,当您处于对象方法框架中时,“this”是不可靠的。通常多次调用堆栈,您将获得一个具有正确地址的对象,您可以通过成员引用导航成员引用,直到您的崩溃点并具有正确的“this”值
uf(Windbg 的反汇编函数命令)。这个小助手可以以比普通的反汇编视图更易于管理的形式列出函数反汇编。因为它遵循跳转和代码重新排列,更容易遵循uf输出的逻辑。
最重要的是要有符号文件 (*.pdb)。您可以为发布版本生成它们,默认情况下它们是不活动的。
然后您必须知道,由于优化,代码可能会重新排序,因此调试可能看起来有点生涩。此外,一些中间变量可能已经被优化掉了。一般来说,数据的行为和可见性可能会有一些限制。
使用 Visual Studio C++ 2008,您可以自动调试 *.dmp 文件。我相信它也适用于 VS 2005。对于较旧的编译器,恐怕您必须使用 WinDbg ...(当然还要指定 WinDbg 的 *.pdb 文件,否则信息将非常有限)
