Re: dumping call stack in c++

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Right well the target machine is using embedded win xp its not a straight
forward system to understand. It has many layers ( which handle the
hardware side...as in coin mechs and many other external devices ) before my
software gets run.

And as for machine crash, it is a complete lock up. I believe that somewhere
I am causing a serious exception..maybe a memory leak or something.. Tried
a bounds checker but with no luck..

If windows memory manager etc had been written correctly and the os was a
true multitasking system then this sort of thing could be avoided but as
windows is a very unstable platform crashes like this that result in total
lockup do happen :( it then becomes a major problem in finding such bugs.
