 | When developing code under Visual Studio, there is a library
(imagehlp.dll) which allows traversal of browser database information
from within code.
For example, I can easily write a function which will dump the stack
trace of the running program from the current execution point by making
use of this library. This is extremely useful when debugging from
CodeWarrior since the CodeWarrior debugger is less than reliable at best.
It is important to me that I should be able to write a function prints
out the following information upon being called :
Dumping stack trace :
3 ... cyclic.cpp (451) void Cycler::cycling(int a, int b, int c)
Frame Pointer - 0x3949438F
DumpStackTrace();
2 ... cyclic.cpp (100) void Cycler::cycler()
Frame Pointer - 0x7843344A
cycling(1, 2, 4);
1 ... main.cpp
Frame Pointer - 0x43959843
c->cycler();
This is in fact extremely easy to accomplish on Windows using Visual
C++. Please see http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0597/hood0597.aspx for
further information.
