Can anyone guide me through the process of finding a possible bug in an
application:
The case is that an application that is deployed (and running 24/7) rarely
(2-3 times per month) pops up with an AV
The exact message is:
"Access Violation at xxxxxxx, read of address yyyyy"
I tried to make a small test programme where I on purpose have build in a
bug resulting in an AV, and then used the addresses the application shows.
I then tried to use Search-->Find address (only available in debugging,
stopped mode), and sometimes it pops up with "The address not found" or the
CPU window pops up, with no link to the source code
How can I - by means of the address from the exception - find the lines in
the source code?
Are there any article I can read?
