feature request: ntstatus

WINDBG
1

Hi everyone,

You know, I’ve been using windbg for a while now, and I think it has
improved tremendously since it’s inception. I can remember when it was
considered crazy to debug with it :wink:

So my feature request is:

Get the ntstatus reason and define for ntstatus type variables!

It would probably be fairly easy for the windows guys to do this in
windbg, (especially since we declare the thing NTSTATUS anyway) rather
than me having to recompile my utility (or dread - open ntstatus.h) to
find out what it means…

Yeah, I know Ntstatus is redefined, so you can’t use it’s type, but at
least if they hade some widget like in vc.net where you have the error
lookup, that would already be cool :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d rather forget that c000009A means low ressources or that c0000022
means access denied :wink:

Anyhow, give it some consideration :wink:

Steve G.

Did you ever try “!error c000009a”?

Or “!error @@(rc)” or whatever local variable name you use. You save the
typing of 2 letters if you use a 2 letters status variable :slight_smile:

M-A

Standard kdext:

kd> !error c000009A
Error code: (NTSTATUS) 0xc000009a (3221225626) - Insufficient system
resources exist to complete the API.

I guess my extension is more convenience for coder.
kd> !ntstatus c000009A
STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES: 0xc000009aL -1073741670
Severity Group: STATUS_SEVERITY_ERROR (0x3)
Facility Group: Unknown facility group (0x0)

It’s available on my hard disk-:slight_smile: I can send you a binary copy if you want.

I add cmds to my extension whenever I found the stock command isn’t
available or inconvenient. It has some neat commands for device node, device
tree, device stack, object database, FSD mounting info and more…

Unfortunately, I don’t have any documentation for it. Sometime I have to dig
into the source code to recall what parameter I have to feed.

I’m working on notes for my cmds and constantly enhancing his power whenever
I found necessary. Hopefully I can make it available to the public for free
and others can benefit from it.

Or, let us know what you’ve added, and send feature requests to
xxxxx@microosft.com. We’ll happily add them to the debugger package
if we think they are widely consumable.

Calvin,

OSR will post tools, perhaps you could make this available for the
rest of us through them.

Would OSR accept tools without source code?

Since some cmds are specific to commercial products. You know what I’m
saying…
