Procdump not work with custom dump option (-mc)

Khoa Bui 56

Hi,

With WER, I can use with dumpType = 0, and CustomDumpFlags = 0, to generate small crash dump file enough to trace (1~2MB).

When use procdump -e -mc 0, it doesn't work, it generates ~30MB crash dump size, then I test with procdump -e -mc 2 (for full memory), it still ~30MB.

Is there something I missed at here?

Thanks

It's a pity that the option -mc doesn't work.

All threads of the process are paused during the creation of the dump.

So it really depends on the type of dump how long the application beeing traced freezes.
