Hello,
Recently i have got hold of Visual SoftIce.
And I haven’t done proper debugging before.
I want to know is there any documentation for
debugging.
There are SoftIce reference books with me, but how to
interpret all that debug trace?
Cheers and Regards

Gosh ! that’s a very generic question … (sounded to me like, how do we
interpret black holes?)
It would help you better if you asked specific questions, however stupid
those might be … and guys in the list out here will point you to the
documentation you may have to read to understand alls that’s hapenning
in the kernel …
And specifically, what part of the debug trace did you get stuck with ?
Have you got the debugger installed and going ?

I did ask a generic question.
But i did mention that i have got Visual SoftIce.
And i asked,‘how to interpret all that debug dump…?’.
Thus, I have got a debugger up and running.
Basically books/docs telling me how and what to infer
from that dump.
Cheers and Regards

Hi !
“ALL that debug dump” could be anything … processes, threads,
registers, memory contents … what do you want to look at? i mean, if
your driver is responsible for a crash, you may want to look at say,
what threads are running, what memory it touches, and then there will be
appropriate debugger commands to run. So, then you can fish out for the
documents that describe those commands…
The dump has a lot of information, and you may not want to look at
everything at the same time.
Download the windows debugger - WinDbg, and its help has lots of
information on how to analyze crash dumps. (I have not read the SoftIce
help, and so I cannot comment on that, but I am sure it should have good
info as well)

Softice documentation is good enough to start off.
Thanks

yes… that is a pretty generic question. you should make a generic
statement like:
“You shouldn’t use C++ in the kernel.”
