Just now I was handed a dump file for a hanging process (written in Delphi) and once again, found myself trawling the stacks for exceptions. A blog I wrote way back in 2012 talks about how to easily find Delphi exceptions in a dump which may not have help stack traces. It can be particularly helpful where you have cascading exceptions: https://marc.durdin.net/2012/08/locating-delphi-exceptions-in-a-live-session-or-dump-using-windbg/

  1. Very interesting posts, but I really miss the ability to just load the dump files in the IDE like in VS :(
