CTRL+ALT+\ (Debug Current Debugger)
The CTRL+ALT+\ key launches a new instance of CDB; this new debugger takes the current debugger as its target.
CTRL+ALT+\
Environment
| Debuggers | WinDbg |
Modes |
user mode, kernel mode |
Targets |
live, crash dump |
Platforms |
all |
Remarks
This is equivalent to launching a new CDB through the remote.exe utility, and using it to debug the debugger that you are already running.
CTRL+ALT+\ is similar to the .dbgdbg (Debug Current Debugger) command, however CTRL+ALT+\ has the advantage that it can be used when no debugger command line is available.
