I have a function in a binary like this class<class1::class2>::function. I can't directly use commands like bp, u, x on the function. The only option I have right now is x class* and then look in the output for the address and then set a breakpoint bp <address>.
Is there something that I'm missing? Its too cumbersome to copy and paste addresses each debugging session. One option is to use pykd, but I am looking for a pure windbg solution.
they are supported if you add the special escape sequence @!" symbol "
make sure you set a resolved breakpoints not an unresolved one
and be aware a single address may point to several instantiations of these classes
windbg version
Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 10.0.17744.1001 X86
lets look for some functions with angle brackets in them
0:000> x /f /v windbg!*<*<*<*
prv func 00b76da9 6d windbg!Debugger::Utils::SmartCleanup_______snipped
prv func 00b76e16 46 windbg!Debugger::Utils::SmartCleanup_______snipped
pub func 00b9bcd1 0 windbg!std::basic_string<char,std::_______snipped
snip
0:000> bp @!" windbg!Debugger::Utils::SmartCleanup_____snipped "
Bp expression '@!" windbg!Debugger::Utils::SmartCleanup<<lamb___snipped "'
could not be resolved, adding deferred bp <<<<<
0:000> bl
0 e Disable Clear u 0001 (0001) (@!" windbg!Debugger::Utils::SmartCleanup<<lambda_snipped
bm might help to match your function by some pattern. See this post.
