    <p>I am looking at a crash dump, and an important clue to how this crash occurred may be inside the value of a static variable (an integer in this case) inside a function. The problem is that the function with that static variable is is not in my call stack where the crash occurred so I can't just look at it directly. Is there a way to view the contents of this variable from the debugger from outside the function that declares it?</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>Sample code has been requested</p> <pre><code>int funcitonWithStaticVar() { static int iRetVal; if (iRetVal == 0) { iRetVal = initializeValue(); } return iRetVal } void functionThatCrashes() { // Crash occurs in this function. The // static variable in the other function // may hold an important clue as to why } int foo() { functionWithStaticVar(); functionThatCrashes(); } </code></pre>

    1. COCan you add a piece of example code so that I'm clear on exactly what's going on?

    3. COIf you disassemble the function that contains the static variable, you should be able to figure out its address from the code in that function that manipulates it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
