Crash Dump Analysis Patterns (Part 272)
Friday, September 18th, 2020We introduced Procedure Call Chain in Stack Trace Collection and Coupled Processes analysis patterns. It is a stack trace formed by gluing stack trace fragments (for example, from LPC/ALPC and RPC Wait Chains) after removing middleware subtraces. For example, we use the following case study (32-bit for less space), follow its Wait Chain, and construct Procedure Call Chain (we use different colors to show gluing):

This similar to Glued Stack Trace which is produced from fragments that belong to one stack region.
