Previously I wrote on how to get a 32-bit stack trace from a 32-bit process thread on an x64 system. There are situations when we are interested in all such stack traces, for example, from a complete memory dump. I wrote a script that extracts both 64-bit and WOW64 32-bit stack traces:
.load wow64exts
!for_each_thread "!thread @#Thread 1f;.thread /w @#Thread; .reload; kb 256; .effmach AMD64"
Example output fragment for a thread fffffa801f3a3bb0 from a very long debugger log file:
