Editor to share with you how to configure and download WinDbg, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

Basics of WinDbg configuration and usage

WinDbg is an excellent source code level (source-level) debugging tool released by Microsoft, which can be used for Kernel mode debugging and user mode debugging, as well as Dump files.

Install Debugging Tools for Windows 64-bit Versions

3. Configure WinDbg:

Run WinDbg- > menu-> File- > Symbol File Path- > to set the _ NT_SYMBOL_PATH variable as follows:

Type "C:\ MyCodesSymbols; SRV*C:\ MyLocalSymbols* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols"(" in the pop-up box, and WinDbg will first look for Symbol from the local folder C:\ MyCodesSymbols, and if it cannot be found, it will automatically download Symbols from MS's Symbol Server). Another way is to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/symbolpkg.mspx from this Symbol download address, download the complete Symbol installation package required by the corresponding operating system, and install it, for example, I install it in D:\ WINDOWS\ Symbols, and type "D:\ WINDOWS\ Symbols" in this box. (please note that the downloaded version of Symbols must be correct. On my Win2003+Sp1, I once thought that installing Symbols for Win2003+Sp2 might be awesome, but it turned out that I was wrong. When I opened the executable file with WinDbg, I prompted the error of "PDB symbol for mscorwks.dll not loaded; Defaulted to export symbols for ntdll.dll". I have reinstalled the Symbols of Win2003+Sp1, and now everything is running normally.)

4. Use WinDbg:

WinDbg provides two operation modes: graphical interface and command line. Here is how to debug an application using WinDbg with a graphical interface:

File- > OpenExecutable- > you can select an executable file to debug

File- > Attache to a Process- > you can select a running process and debug it

At this point, we can enter each function instruction in the text box marked with a red box in the figure above. (for help documentation on the instruction, please see: Help- > Contents- > Debugging Tools for Windows- > Debuggers- > Debugger Reference, which contains all the function descriptions of the instruction machine!) .
