Has anyone ever successfully used the BSOD register, memory, stack, status dump information to diagnose and fix a fault?
Are those values even useful given that the machine is halted and there's no way to inspect or read any additional information about what was running and where it was in memory?
I suspect there are a select few that can do this, but for the rest of us it's a reboot and reload situation. Also, those that could use this information probably also could fix and resolve the crash without it?
So, what's the point of even dumping that info to screen, instead of putting up a simple "oops, I died, time to restart" message?
- btilly 2y agoYes. When I've talked to ex-Microsoft people, they have ways to hook up an external debugger to the halted machine and walk through it. But the necessary tooling only exists at Microsoft.
