!pe fails for no-heap dumps because of an assertion inside CLRMD #37

Closed goldshtn closed 9 years ago

goldshtn commented 9 years ago

The assertion has to do with the fact CLRMD is trying to get fields by name to display the exception (e.g. the inner exception field, message field, and so on) and this fails because the heap doesn't contain the required data. The assertion itself originates in DesktopGCHeap.InitBasicTypes. In Release mode the assertion doesn't fire, but the fields remain uninitialized so using them causes an NRE.

Need to get the field values by address. There is basic support for doing this with the _message field, but need to do it for everything.
