How to use WinDBG to track down .net out of memory exceptions?
Here's the graph that I use for deciding about .NET OutOfMemoryExceptions:
For the !u
part, I know two options so far. The first is the creation of a big array of objects. See How to identify array type for details. The second is throwing an OutOfMemoryException directly, which you would identify like this:
0:000> .symfix d:\debug\symbols
0:000> .reload
0:000> ~#s
0:000> .loadby sos mscorwks; *** Use clr if .NET4
0:000> !pe
Exception object: 025d07d8
Exception type: System.OutOfMemoryException
Message: Nicht genügend Speicher verfügbar, um das Programm weiter auszuführen.
InnerException: <none>

The call to call System.OutOfMemoryException..ctor()
is a new OutOfMemoryException()
in C# and call mscorwks!JIT_Throw
is the throw
keyword.
