| Nov 24, 2023 at 14:36 | comment | added | Anders Forsgren | Thanks. The problem is solved. I have all the suggestions implemented (match value when possible, use index when impossible and so on) But it could be brittle. Or it could be future proof. I don't know. The question now is basically "what will make this break?" | |
| Nov 24, 2023 at 11:05 | comment | added | harrymc | I'm trying to find you a method that works, rather than giving a negative answer. | |
| Nov 24, 2023 at 9:59 | comment | added | Anders Forsgren | There is no way of telling a method address from a method offset because they are both just numbers. If it's truly "this is subject to change" or "this order should not be relied on" etc. then perhaps that fact might be documented somewhere? Otherwise the answer could be either this "this isn't documented, and not even the fact that it isn't documented isn't documented" is the answer to my question. | |
| Nov 24, 2023 at 9:54 | comment | added | harrymc | Unfortunately this documentation does not exist, at least publicly. Microsoft does not document areas for which it prefers to be free to change without notice. You will need to change your search to something that's perhaps similar to what I have outlined. | |
| Nov 24, 2023 at 7:57 | comment | added | Anders Forsgren | sadly for many of them it's just a number/offset/address that can be a valid value for many of the entries. For example: I must confirm that item #11 of a crash event is always the method offset. Otherwise I can't use that number. If it's not well defined then the data is pretty useless so it seems likely that it IS indeed well defined. But potentially it could be well defined for specific versions of windows or specific circumstances (e.g a .NET app crashing vs a different app). That's the documentation I need. | |
