Documentation for new commands for 6.6.7.5...

WINDBG
1

ALL:

Does anyone know of any documentation for the new
commands/metacommands/extension commands for 6.6.7.5? There does not
seem to be any in the WinDbg package, nor does google turn up anything
(at least for the few commands I tried).

In particular, I wondering about .copysym, but I would like to check
out all the new features before I decide on whether to upgrade or not.

Thanks,

MM

The docs that come with 6.6.07.5 have all of the documentation that has
been written so far. There’s always a doc lag, so it doesn’t have many
of the commands that were added in the past two or three point releases.

.copysym [-l]

copies all loaded symbol files to the given path via Win32’s CopyFile
API. -l forces symbols to load as it goes.

Drew,

I know it would be work, but could someone when a new release comes out
put out a short description of the new commands on the newsgroups (such as
you did for .copysym) as a stopgap until the documentation catches up? I
suspect a few lines like below is enough for each command.

First of all, thanks. If you wouldn’t mind, how about these:

.dumpdebug
.f
.idle_cmd

Thanks,

I concur with Don. Really all that is needed to get started is a few
lines.

.dumpdebug doesn’t take any options, it just shows raw info about the
dump being debugged.

.f+ and .f- increment and decrement the current frame count.
Essentially they are .frame @$frame + 1 and .frame @$frame - 1.

.idle_cmd [/d] [] sets a command to run when a debugger UI
goes to an idle state (basically first-thing once per break-in). /d
deletes any existing idle command.

I’ll suggest this to our doc folks but currently I don’t believe they
have any extra resources (otherwise the docs would be more up-to-date).
