Crash dump - resolve unmanaged code crash in a .NET application using WinDbg

I'm trying to discover the WinDbg tool to analyze a crash dump we have on our production server.

When I run !analyze -v, I get:

I really have a hard time figuring what is what. From what I understand, here are the interesting part:

EXCEPTION_CODE and STACK_TEXT.

I'm a really new to WinDbg, and it's the first time I'm using this tool. I've been struggling with my Google search, so I guess I'm not searching for the right thing.

What I'd like to do is:

1. Understand the output format of the stack_text
2. Try to see the input parameters of each functions

Is that the right way to approach this problem?

There are several good tutorials available on the web and even in the WinDbg help file (.chm). A good place would be WinDBG tutorial - Introduction or Tess' blog, If broken it is, fix it you should.

In your case, step 1 would be to point WinDbg to the correct symbols. It's clear from the output above that your sympath is either incorrect or not pointing to any PDB files. Do the following in the debugger:

.sympath SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

This will point the debugger to use the Microsoft public symbol server for OS components; it will cache the PDB files to your c:\symbols folder. To add another symbol path (for example, the folder containing your application's PDB files), you can either use a ';' delimited list of paths or simply use the .sympath+ command to add new paths piecemeal.

Once you set up your symbol path, run !analyze -v again or follow the steps in the tutorial above to see if you get better results.

The stack trace should be readable if you have the correct symbols. You could try something like:

1. Load the dump file.
2. Run .symfix
3. Open the 'Symbol File Path' menu
4. Add a path to your application's .PDB files
5. Check the 'reload' checkbox
6. Run !clrstack -p to dump the stack with parameters.
