Alright, damn it, whose brilliant idea was it to display signed variables
that display in the Locals window in base 10? Really great when my eyes are
calibrated for hex, I NEVER use decimal in kernel debug, and THERE IS NO
DOCUMENTED WAY TO CONVERT THE DISPLAY FROM DECIMAL TO HEX!
Case in point … I have a variable that is typed as NTSTATUS that contains
a status code. When displayed, I see
-1073741808. Big whoop! 0xC0000010 means one hell of a lot more than some
stupid signed piece of decimal crap!
And no, using the N command does NOT change the display of the Locals window
for a LONG, which is what NTSTATUS resolves.
Is there a means of setting this, once and for all, or is this a candidate
for a “Boot in the butt” award?
This was NOT the behavior in prior releases.
