Kilian: I normally modify the source code and insert CpuBreakpoint() function. That will trig VS debugger for the source code.
Thanks Liming From: devel@edk2.groups.io [mailto:devel@edk2.groups.io] On Behalf Of Kilian Kegel Sent: Monday, October 28, 2019 9:01 PM To: Gao, Liming <liming....@intel.com> Cc: devel@edk2.groups.io; Richardson, Brian <brian.richard...@intel.com>; Kinney, Michael D <michael.d.kin...@intel.com> Subject: [edk2-devel] [edk2] [EmulatorPkg] using __debugbreak() Hi Liming, If have observed in newer Windows 10 versions, when using __debugbreak()in any application that Windows just terminates the app, instead offering to debug it. So in WinHost.exe too. That's why I usually insert the code snippet below to run into getchar() when the program was started with the /debug command line switch. As long as the App waits for the next keystroke, I can start the debugger (VS2019) and connect to WinHost.exe process for debugging. Do you have a better solution without modifying the source code? Thanks, Kilian if(1){ int i; SecPrint ("######################################################################################################\n"); SecPrint ("add \"/debug\" command line switch, to connect to the debugger at the very beginning of POST emulation\n"); SecPrint ("######################################################################################################\n"); if(Argc > 1){ for(i = 1 ; i < Argc ; i++){ if(0 == strcmp("/debug", Argv[i])){ //SecPrint("IF YOU WANT TO DEBUG from the very beginning of the EMULATION:\n\t1. start the TASKMGR\n\t2. connect WinHost.exe to the debugger\n\t3. and press ENTER in this command box\nOR\n"); SecPrint("\t1. start Visual Studio\n"); SecPrint("\t2. DEBUG->ATTACH TO PROCESS (CTRL + ALT + P) --> WinHost.exe\n"); SecPrint("\t3. Break All (CTRL + ALT + Break) --> WinHost.exe\n"); SecPrint("\t4. SET A SOFTWARE BREAKPOINT (F9) in line 445\n"); SecPrint("\t5. and press ENTER in this command box\n"); SecPrint("\t6. go back to Visual Studio an RUN/SINGLE STEP the application\n"); SecPrint("\t7. otherwise press enter to continue...\n"); getchar(); // // 1. SET A SOFTWARE BREAKPOINT TO THE NEXT LINE of code below -->> SecPrint(""); // 2. switch to the command box and press ENTER // 3. start single stepping the entire boot/emulation process, good luck... // SecPrint("");//now you can single step the entire boot/emulation process, good luck... } } } } -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
