Comments in italics are mine and express my own views, thoughts and opinions

Developer’s Guide to Debugging by M. Wloka, et al.:

Linking order (pp. 113 - 114) - I need to check this with MS linker, how many passes does it have

Symbol clash as undetected multiple definitions (pp. 117 - 118) - I need to check this with MS linker

Symbol localization (suppressing exports) EDITBIN and LIB on Windows (p. 118) - Never used EDITBIN before. Will try

The possibility of crash due to linker mismatch or error (p. 120)

How to determine a compiler version from an object or library file? (pp. 120 - 122) - It looks like .obj files compiled by MS compiler contain all compilation options and the following string, for example: -compiler:”c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\c2.dll”

Advanced Windows Debugging by M. Hewardt and D. Pravat:

Breaking the code path technique: freezing processes one by one and checking if this freezes the client (p. 355)

AccessCheck in RPCSS, machine access check -> machine launch check -> component-specific check for DCOM (pp. 357 - 361)

RPCSS service -> DcomLaunch service (p. 362)

Concurrent Programming on Windows by J. Duffy:

Software Factories by J. Greenfield, et. al.:

Software Engineering Foundations: A Software Science Perspective, by Y. Wang:

Didn’t have time today. Will resume notebook on Friday.
