Nice article. How can we avoid the above access violation from occurring?

Re: Modifying the VC runtime to get better heap allocation stack traces

The relevant points in the Michael Kaplan blog page are the changes necessary for the service pack {I have just compiled MSVCR80.dll for Visual Studio 2005 SP 2 which has the same errors as SP 1}. So what you need to do is copy the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\crt\src to a new C:\SRC - make the changes as suggested in the blog page - remove the -Oy- flag as detailed then compile the dlls. As Mr Voyce highlights, there is no need to change dll names or anything, the resulting _sample_.dll can be renamed.

Hi, great article. I see `makeName` isn't documented anywhere. Is it simply a function that returns a unique string?

I am not obsessed with finding that one-in-a-billion item in Diablo 3, only mildly interested. If I stay up late, it's because sky broadband is less congested after 1 am. True story!!

Re: Examining PDB files with DBH

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your article. It's very insteresting.
I am trying to inspect the symbols of a .NET program but I only can see the public methods. I can't see any variable (class or local).

I tried with DBH and DIA2DUMP with the same result.
I am targeting NET 4.0.
I am building in debug mode.

Do you have any idea why this is happening ?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

Re: Creating an iPad flip-clock with Core Animation

I think that's an exercise for the reader. The technique *is* complex: it can be simplified if used in only one particular manner, but the basic idea isn't trivial to implement.

I really hate wiggle box UIs. For me, the wiggle box system is very hard to use.

"which could be quite useful for that retro ‘GAME OVER’ display."

You can do this still with a few SKLabelNode's on an SKNode using NSString sizeWithAttributes just providing the font and size you used to get the character widths. (The frame widths won't work) and then you can do whatever you want

You could also try using CAEmitterLayer to make stars shoot across the screen randomly - it creates particle systems. You could just use an image of your star as the particle texture.

Great article, but sadly this does not seem to work in .net 4 anymore. Can you give any info on how we can repeat this in .net 4.

Was very useful to know about this tool to analyze a particular PDB, thank you.
