Description - Stack Shot



This utility injects itself into any Win32 Process and takes a snapshot of the call stacks of all Threads in the process. I`ve often needed a tool to take a quick snap-shot of the call-stack of all threads of a process (e.g. a deadlocked application). WinDbg does the job on XP, but on older platforms (like NT4) it`s not possible to do a non-invasive attach to a process (when the process is attached non-invasively it`s possible to detach the debugger without having to restart the process). A tool like Process Explorer from SysInternals can give you the stack of each thread, but you can`t compare the call`s across all threads. Stack Shot injects itself into a remote process and uses the Windows symbol engine to take a snap-shot of all the threads in the process. The UI presents the call stacks of each thread and the associated source code (with syntax highlighting for C/C++ files) for each stack entry (symbols required). Stack Shot is still a work in Progress. Any and all suggestions are welcome!
