Win32Trace: Open-Source Tracing and Debugging Tool for Windows

An open-source tracing and debugging tool for Windows to trace function calls, exceptions, events, threads, processes, modules, images, and more.

What is Win32Trace?

Win32Trace is an open-source application tracing and debugging tool for Windows platforms. It utilizes the tracing abilities in the Windows operating system to monitor various aspects of running applications and services.

Some of the key features of Win32Trace include:

• Function call tracing - Trace every function call made by a process, including function parameters and return values.
• Exception tracing - Log all exceptions triggered in an application.
• Event tracing - Monitor various Windows events like file system, registry, network, etc.
• Thread tracing - Track thread starts, stops, switches.
• Process and module tracing - Record process starts/stops and modules loads/unloads.
• Kernel object tracing - Trace creation/deletion of objects like files, registry keys, network sockets, events etc.

Win32Trace collects very detailed tracing data with extremely low overhead, allowing it to trace even very high frequency events. The tracing data can be logged to file or viewed in real-time. It includes rich filtering, highlighting and analysis features to pinpoint issues.

Win32Trace helps debug tricky application and service crashes, performance issues, threading bugs, handle leaks, etc. Its detailed traces can uncover root cause of problems that are otherwise very difficult to diagnose.
