WinDbg, SOS, how to dump all strings on stack

How can I print the string value of all the System.String objects on the current thread's clrstack?

Pseudo code for what I want to do:

foreach ($string in !dso -type System.String) !do $string

or better yet

foreach ($string in !dso -type System.String) !printstring $string

even better yet

foreach (distinct $string in !dso -type System.String) !printstring $string

Thanks!

Solution

  • The latest SOSEX extension (v4) has the !mdso command which has the type filtering option /t.

mdso
Usage: !sosex.mdso [Options]

Dumps object references on the stack and in CPU registers in the current context

Options:

/t:typeFilter - Limits the output to objects whose type name matches the filter expression specified by "typeFilter".
                 Cannot be combined with the /mt option.

    so a command of !mdso /t:System.String should work.
