Tracing, debugging without Source code?

1 New Member
We have a software application based on VB6.0 and running MSVM6. While I am not sure, I think the application makes use of MSMAPI6.0 controls to send files from the screen to email. he problem I have with it, is that intermittently, the send to email functionality fails. This can happen for weeks and then suddenly it works again for no apparent reason. I can see the application creating the email, but Outlook (their default email app) doesn't fire up a blank email.

Since this only happens in this particular application I am trying to figure why the emailing fails. My problem is that I am not sure how I could monitor what actually happens. I don't have access to the source ro I could runa debugger. Is there a trace program that would show me what data is being send and how it is processed when this VB app sends email?

"We have supplied the application. The client has employed another company to set up the platform, the workstation. At the moment the other company is blaming our application for the "send to email" failure. I could blame them for having a bug in the OS. Unfortunately, in the end, the client wants a solution, and so do I, so I need to find out if this problem is caused by the application or by the OS not picking up the generated email."

hi, I have a testing win2003 machine, where I debug inside a MMC process using a DebugBreak() statement.

I am trying to produce a singleton class that I can use throughout my library to write tracing information to a file. My intent was to design such that someone using the library in its debug mode would be able to see what was happening without having to use a debugger to step through each instruction. What they would do is run their program and view the tracing file output. If there was something wrong then they would use the debugger of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
