Re: help: dumper 1.10 not giving expected stack trace in gdb


Christopher Faylor wrote:

It's an unfortunate side effect of the way dumper works.  The dumping
process is paused waiting for a debugger (in this case dumper.exe) to
connect.  The routine that is used to pause is frameless.  The stack is
still available for inspection via something like 'x/100x $esp' but the
stack trace is often munged in this scenario.

Hi Christopher,

Is the routine causing the pause frameless because it's inside a Windows native dll? If that is the case, could I determine the correct amount to adjust some registers to get to a good backtrace?

Here is the result of x/120x $esp. I've marked with a double-star the innermost frame that the t.exe.stackdump file shows, and star marks the frames which can get to that innermost frame. What gdb commands should I execute to fool gdb into providing a good backtrace?
