Is it possible to display memory in base 10?

OSR_Community_User · August 27, 2001, 6:54pm

I am trying to get a quick and dirty dump of a data structure, which is all
ULONGs, so I can stuff it into Excel. Excel will deal with hex, sort of,
but it’s very tedious and unpleasant. So I would like to get WinDBG to dump
the values as decimal, so Excel won’t choke on it. I would even be willing
to cut and paste from the watch window, if it would work, but the Watch
window docs say:

Integer values are always displayed in hexadecimal, but they are entered in
the current radix (unless you specify a different radix prefix). To change
the current radix, use the N (Set Number Base) command in the Debugger
Command window.

I’ve set the radix to 10 and use DT to dump the struct, which dumps the data
values in hex, even with the decimal radix set. Is there any way to
persuade WinDBG to display integer values in decimal?

Thanks,

Phil

Yes, John, I could do that. I was hoping to avoid coding in order to
accomplish something this trivial, and hoped someone knew the answer that I
was missing.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil.

To answer the question, I don’t know how to convince windbg to do this.
However, you do have the option of writing a debugger extension (samples are
included when you install the debugger sdk out of the windbg .msi file), and
then you can do whatever you need.

I hope you find this useful!

In WinDbg 2.0.20 there is a “Display Format” drop down menu that allows
you to select Long Unsigned which shows up in the memory window in base
10 format.

That works fine. In addition to “Long Unsigned”, there is the “Long”
display format, which works perfectly. It doesn’t append the extra 0’s.

There is also the .formats command which evaluates an expression just
like the ? command, but displays the output in multiple formats.

Like this

0:000> .formats 123
Evaluate expression:
Hex: 00000123
Decimal: 291
Octal: 00000000443
Binary: 00000000 00000000 00000001 00100011

Thanks. Unless I’m using it improperly (which is highly probable), that’s
not really much more scalable to more than two or three data values than
Excel’s means of dealing with hex. Although it’s not ideal, not by a long
shot, the “Long” format in the memory window is orders of magnitude better
than anything else I’ve found so far.

This whole discussion wouldn’t be necessary if the Watch or Locals windows
could display in multiple bases, instead of hex only.

“.bugcheck” will give you the bug check code & parameters
“!analyzebugcheck -v” will give you even more information about your
crash.

In order for these to work best (especially the !analyzebugcheck) you
need to be running the latest Windbg from
http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/debugging

Someone use “dc explog!ExpLogBuffer”, but I can’t use this command. I
don’t
know why…
If this doesn’t work then 1 of 2 things is probably happening.
Either you don’t have symbols for explog loaded OR the explog module is
not present.

Thank you, I have know !analyzebugchk -v. now I want to get strings
appearred on the blue sceen.
so I think that dc explog!ExpLogBuffer is good for me. so if anyone know
same command, please teach me.

explog’s symbol is the hard vendor’s symbol?
In general, I can’t find explog’s symbol…

p.s. I want to know good book to learn to debugging techniq, what is your
recommendation?

What information do you think the strings on the blue screen will give
you that you can’t get directly from the debugger?

The bug check information you can get with .bugcheck and !analyzebugchk
-v
The loaded modules you can get with lm.

What other information is shown on the screen with a machine crashes?
