I just stumbled over a feature which is either new or I didn't realize before.
It is support of tab completion in the command window.
When I'm going to set a breakpoint I normall execute an 'x' command with a good guess about the signature:
E.g. :
x kernel32!*ToWideChar
Giving:
7c809bf8 kernel32!MultiByteToWideChar =
Then I can set the breakpoint either by:
bp 7c809bf8
or
bp kernel32!MultiByteToWideChar
Now by accident (I'm used to that from the console) I wrote just a few letters and pressed the tab key and surprise windbg did the rest ;-)
Try the following:
1.) bp ker<2*tab> gives bp kernel32!
2.) bp kernel32!Mul
3.)
Those little enhancements can significantly make your life easier.
I observed it with windbg 6.7.5.1. Please tell me if it was there before and I'm telling old stories.
Cheers,
Volker
