+ debugging Winelib applications.
+ being a drop-in replacement for Dr Watson

MODES

default

Without any explicit mode, this is standard winedbg operating mode. winedbg will act as the front end for the user.

--gdb

winedbg will be used as a proxy for gdb. gdb will be the front end for command handling, and winedbg will proxy all debugging requests from gdb to the Win32 APIs.

--auto

This mode is used when winedbg is set up in AeDebug registry entry as the default debugger. winedbg will then display basic information about a crash. This is useful for users who don't want to debug a crash, but rather gather relevant information about the crash to be sent to developers.

--minidump

This mode is similar to the --auto one, except that instead of printing the information on the screen (as --auto does), it's saved into a minidump file. The name of the file is either passed on the command line, or generated by WineDbg when none is given. This file could later on be reloaded into winedbg for further examination.

file.mdmp

This mode allows to reload into winedbg the state of a debuggee which has been saved into a minidump file. See either the minidump command below, or the --minidump mode.

OPTIONS

--command <string>

winedbg will execute the command <string> as if it was keyed on winedbg's command line, and then will exit. This can be handy for getting the pid of running processes (winedbg --command "info proc").

--file <filename>

winedbg will execute the list of commands contained in file <filename> as if they were keyed on winedbg's command line, and then will exit.

When in gdb proxy mode, the following options are available:

--no-start

gdb will not be automatically started. Relevant information for starting gdb are printed on screen. This is somehow useful when not directly using gdb but some graphical front-ends, like ddd or kgbd.

--with-xterm

This will run gdb in its own xterm instead of using the current Unix console for textual display.

In all modes, the rest of the command line, when passed, is used to identify which programs, if any, has to debugged:

program name

This is the name of an executable to start for a debugging session. winedbg will actually create a process with this executable. If programs arguments are also given, they will be used as arguments for creating the process to be debugged.

pid

winedbg will attach to the process which pid is pid (pids refer to Win32 pids, not Unix pids). Use the info proc winedbg command to list running processes and their Win32 pids.

default

If nothing is specified, you will enter the debugger without any run nor attached process. You'll have to do the job yourself.

COMMANDS

Default mode, and while reloading a minidump file:

Most of commands used in winedbg are similar to the ones from gdb. Please refer to the gdb documentations for some more details. See the gdb differences section later on to get a list of variations from gdb commands.

Misc. commands

abort

Aborts the debugger.

quit

Exits the debugger.

attach N

Attach to a Wine-process (N is its ID, numeric or hexadecimal). IDs can be obtained using the info process command. Note the info process command returns hexadecimal values

detach

Detach from a Wine-process.

Help commands

help

Prints some help on the commands.

help info

Prints some help on info commands

Flow control commands

cont

Continue execution until next breakpoint or exception.

pass

Pass the exception event up to the filter chain.

step

Continue execution until next C line of code (enters function call)

next

Continue execution until next C line of code (doesn't enter function call)

stepi

Execute next assembly instruction (enters function call)

nexti

Execute next assembly instruction (doesn't enter function call)

finish

Execute until return of current function is reached.

cont, step, next, stepi, nexti can be postfixed by a number (N), meaning that the command must be executed N times before control is returned to the user.

Breakpoints, watchpoints

enable N

Enables (break|watch)-point #N

disable

Disables (break|watch)-point #N

delete

Deletes (break|watch)-point #N

cond N

Removes any existing condition to (break|watch)-point N

cond N <expr>

Adds condition <expr> to (break|watch)-point #N. <expr> will be evaluated each time the (break|watch)-point is hit. If the result is a zero value, the breakpoint isn't triggered.

break * N

Adds a breakpoint at address N

break <id>

Adds a breakpoint at the address of symbol <id>

break <id> N

Adds a breakpoint at the line N inside symbol <id>.

break N

Adds a breakpoint at line N of current source file.

break

Adds a breakpoint at current PC address.

watch * N

Adds a watch command (on write) at address N (on 4 bytes).

watch <id>

Adds a watch command (on write) at the address of symbol <id>. Size depends on size of <id>.

info break

Lists all (break|watch)-points (with their state).

You can use the symbol EntryPoint to stand for the entry point of the Dll.

When setting a (break|watch)-point by <id>, if the symbol cannot be found (for example, the symbol is contained in a not yet loaded module), winedbg will recall the name of the symbol and will try to set the breakpoint each time a new module is loaded (until it succeeds).

Stack manipulation

bt

Print calling stack of current thread.

bt N

Print calling stack of thread of ID N. Note: this doesn't change the position of the current frame as manipulated by the up & dn commands).

up

Goes up one frame in current thread's stack

up N

Goes up N frames in current thread's stack

dn

Goes down one frame in current thread's stack

dn N

Goes down N frames in current thread's stack

frame N

Sets N as the current frame for current thread's stack.

info locals

Prints information on local variables for current function frame.

Directory & source file manipulation

show dir

Prints the list of dir:s where source files are looked for.

dir <pathname>

Adds <pathname> to the list of dir:s where to look for source files

dir

Deletes the list of dir:s where to look for source files

symbolfile <pathname>

Loads external symbol definition symbolfile <pathname>

symbolfile <pathname> N

Loads external symbol definition symbolfile <pathname> (applying an offset of N to addresses)

list

Lists 10 source lines forwards from current position.

list -

Lists 10 source lines backwards from current position

list N

Lists 10 source lines from line #N in current file

list <pathname>:N

Lists 10 source lines from line #N in file <pathname>

list <id>

Lists 10 source lines of function <id>

list * N

Lists 10 source lines from address N

You can specify the end target (to change the 10 lines value) using the ',' separator. For example:

list 123, 234
lists source lines from line 123 up to line 234 in current file
list foo.c:1,56
lists source lines from line 1 up to 56 in file foo.c 


Displaying

A display is an expression that's evaluated and printed after the
execution of any winedbg's command.

display
info display
Lists the active displays
display <expr>
Adds a display for expression expr>
display /fmt <expr>
Adds a display for expression <expr>. Printing evaluated
<expr> is done using the given format (see print command
for more on formats)
del display N
undisplay N
Deletes display #N


Disassembly

disas
Disassemble from current position
disas <expr>
Disassemble from address <expr>
disas <expr>,<expr>
Disassembles code between addresses specified by the two <expr>:s


Memory (reading, writing, typing)

x <expr>

print /fmt <expr>
Prints the value of <expr> (possibly using its type)
set <var> = <expr>
Writes the value of <expr> in <var> variable.
whatis <expr>

/fmt
is either /<letter> or /<count><letter>. <letter>
can be:

s
an ASCII string
u
an Unicode UTF16 string
i
instructions (disassemble)
x
32 bit unsigned hexadecimal integer
d
32 bit signed decimal integer
w
16 bit unsigned hexadecimal integer
c
character (only printable 0x20-0x7f are actually printed)
b
8 bit unsigned hexadecimal integer
g
Win32 GUID




Expressions

Expressions in Wine Debugger are mostly written in a C form. However,
there are a few discrepancies:

Identifiers can take a '!' in their names. This allows mainly to
specify a module where to look the module from: USER32!CreateWindowExA.

In cast operation, when specifying a structure or an union, you must
use the struct or union key word (even if your program uses a typedef). 


When specifying an identifier <id>, if several symbols with
this name exist, the debugger will prompt for the symbol you want to
use. Pick up the one you want from its number.

Misc.


minidump file.mdmp
saves the debugging context of the debuggee into a minidump file called 
file.mdmp

Gdb mode:

See the gdb documentation for all the gdb commands.

However, a few Wine's extension are available, through the monitor command:

monitor wnd

Lists all window in the Wine session

monitor proc

Lists all processes in the Wine session

monitor mem

Displays memory mapping of debugged process

Auto and minidump modes:

Since no user input is possible, no commands are available.

ENVIRONMENT
