ABSTRACT:
A hardware/software system for analyzing memory dumps. The system collects data structures in a memory dump into logical tables, one logical table per selected type of data structure. The logical tables are generated by use of extraction logic for extracting data in data structures in the memory dump. The extraction logic is used in conjunction with a template library that contains data structure definitions for various types of data structures. The extraction logic, together with the template library, make possible populating logical tables with the contents of data structures found in the memory dump. Each row in a logical table is dedicated to one data structure of the selected type. Collecting data structures into logical tables makes available the power of a standard database management system for operating on the logical tables to determine the cause of a crash of a hardware/software system for which the memory dump was taken.
