VboxDbg Problems

Post by thedragon »

Hello,

I have A couple of problems with VboxDbg that I'd like to ask:

1-
I'm trying to understand how can I set multiple commands when breakpointing:

Code: Select all

VBoxDbg> ba x 1 0xf0ffffff "k;g"
Syntax error: Unbalanced quote (argument 3).
Syntax error: Invalid command 'g"'!
VBoxDbg> 
I think this is a very useful feature and if Its not implemented yet It should be, If is not implemented yet, is there any way I could execute multiple commands when breakpointing?

2 - Sometimes command k(call stack) gives wrong call stack layout, how can this be solved?

3 - How do I load symbols in VboxDbg?

4 - When I set BreakPoint this way:

Code: Select all

VBoxDbg>ba x 1 0xf0ffffff "g"
Set access breakpoint 0 at 00000000f0ffffff
VBoxDbg> bl
 0x0 e 1 x 00000000f0ffffff 0000 (0000 to ~0)  
  cmds: 'g'
VBoxDbg> 

The execution is resumed so fast that there is no time to print register values before execution resumes, that is clearly a software bug, please fix this!

output looks like this:

Code: Select all

VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg> VBoxDbg>

This question is really for the dev mailing list or the dev IRC channel. While it is true the debugger is related to the API, you're not talking about code but the actual dev tools ;)
You're free to leave your question here but you'll probably get a much faster answer there.
