今天解决了一个困扰的很久的问题，debug状态下进程退出的时候总是出现一个莫名其妙的中断，看调用堆栈似乎是一个CALSS析构的时候释放内存出问题了，F5后可以继续退出，由于没有直接影响到用户的使用，就一直没有解决这个问题，今天有时间，搜了些资料，终于找到了一篇有价值的资料，按照说明设置好了环境一下就定位到出问题的点了，原因是程序退出的时候调用了一个appAuto->Revoke(); 该函数内部将appAuto对象给销毁了，之后又调用了appAuto->setClosing(true);，就导致了开始说的问题。
unexpected user breakpoint in ntdll.dll
Updated: 01.09.2005
We were in the middle of the debugging session, when suddenly the debugger displayed a message similar to the following:
User breakpoint called from code at 0x77fa018c
or the following:
Unhandled exception at 0x77f767cd (ntdll.dll) in myapp.exe: User breakpoint.
What happened? We did not even set any breakpoints, so why there is a user breakpoint? The problem starts looking even stranger when we notice that the application works fine when we start it outside of the debugger! But under debugger it keeps showing the message about user breakpoint, so that we cannot effectively debug our application anymore.
Searching for an answer, we look at Debug Output window. And yes, there is another message! For example:
HEAP[myapp.exe]: Heap block at 00360F78 modified at 00360F90 past requested size of 10
Aha, it looks like the heap is corrupted. The contents of Call Stack window also point to the heap:
NTDLL! DbgBreakPoint@0 address 0x77fa018c NTDLL! RtlpBreakPointHeap@4 + 38 bytes NTDLL! RtlpCheckBusyBlockTail@4 + 106 bytes NTDLL! RtlpValidateHeapEntry@12 + 146975 bytes NTDLL! RtlDebugFreeHeap@12 + 191 bytes NTDLL! RtlFreeHeapSlowly@12 + 70765 bytes NTDLL! RtlFreeHeap@12 + 4078 bytes MYAPP! free + 102 bytes MYAPP! operator delete(void *) + 9 bytes main(int 1, char * * 0x003610b0) line 21 + 15 bytes MYAPP! mainCRTStartup + 180 bytes KERNEL32! BaseProcessStart@4 + 130958 bytes
It turns out that when we start the application under debugger, the operating system uses a special kind of heap – Debug Win32 heap – instead of the normal heap. Whenever an operation on the heap is performed (such as allocating or freeing memory), the debug heap manager checks integrity of the heap entries and internal structures. If it founds a corruption, it notifies us via a hard-coded breakpoint, which is reported by the debugger.
How can we find the reason of the heap corruption? We can of course employ a specialized runtime checker application (such as BoundsChecker, Purify or Memory Validator), but I prefer to use PageHeap, because it is part of the operating system (since Windows 2000 SP2) and is easy to use. Detailed technical information about PageHeap can be found in KB286470.
We can enable Full PageHeap with the help of the following Registry entries:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Image File Execution Options/yourapp.exe
GlobalFlag = REG_DWORD 0x2000000
PageHeapFlags = REG_DWORD 0x3
(replace yourapp.exe with the real name of your executable)
If you have Debugging Tools for Windows installed, there is another way to achieve the same – run the following command:
gflags –p /enable yourapp.exe /full
(gflags.exe can be found in the installation directory of Debugging Tools)
After we have enabled Full PageHeap, we should run the application under debugger and wait for access violations or hard-coded breakpoints. After an access violation occurred or a breakpoint has been hit, examination of the current source line and the call stack usually allows us to immediately see who is corrupting the heap.
Note also that it is recommended to link the application with release version of CRT library (that is, use /ML, /MT or /MD compiler option (or the corresponding IDE equivalent) instead of /MLd, /MTd or /MDd option). This is because debug version of CRT library uses its own heap checking infrastructure (by the way, not as powerful as Full PageHeap), which can overlap with PageHeap and hide some errors instead of exposing them.
Another situation that worth talking about is when we are debugging a DLL that is loaded by a large application (often a 3rd party application). Since there is probably no point in checking the whole application with PageHeap, we can ask it to check only the heap entries that are allocated by our DLL:
gflags –p /enable yourapp.exe /full /dlls yourdll.dll
