After Windows crach, with WinDbg can I see function’s veriables(that function is in stack at the moment of crash)?

Yes, you can. But symbols have to be set up correctly.

You can even use WinDbg’s “.frame /r” command…to switch the scope of the
stack

Yes, at least for x86 (not x64) and for checked build.

Use “kb” and “dv”.

For x64, registers are used for call parameters, so the parameter values
are quickly lost.

For optimized free build, some stack locations can be reused and again the
parameter values will be lost.

That is a rather open endied question. Which command for what?

Thanks.

WinDbg comes with a copious help file that’s one mouse click away and
with an incredibly small latency compared to the turn around of
emails on a mailing list.

If it’s crashing in your sources and you have the proper symbols
loaded, WinDbg will show you your local stack variables after the
eponymous !analyze -v

Otherwise you could look in said help file and start reading about
the -k option.

!analyze -v
