How to identify array type?
I have an OutOfMemoryException and I'd like to analyze the size and the type of the array which shall be created.
I have created a demo purpose dump for that situation and I'm able to get the following information:
0:000> !pe
Exception object: 023f389c
Exception type: System.OutOfMemoryException
Message: <none>
InnerException: <none>
StackTrace (generated):
SP IP Function
0015EE44 0099007F OOM2!OOM2.Program.Main()+0xf
StackTraceString: <none>
HResult: 8007000e
0:000> !u 0099007F
Normal JIT generated code
OOM2.Program.Main()
Begin 00990070, size 22
00990070 baffffff7f mov edx,7FFFFFFFh
00990075 b90241a478 mov ecx,offset mscorlib_ni+0x4102 (78a44102)
0099007a e8192194ff call 002d2198 (JitHelp: CORINFO_HELP_NEWARR_1_VC)
>>> 0099007f 8bc8 mov ecx,eax
...
So I can see that a new array is created and the size is 7FFFFFFF, which is 2 billion items. (Please ignore the fact that you can't even create a byte[] of that size in a 32 bit .NET application, so in this example the type would probably not matter at all.)
I have now read that the type of the array is in the ECX register, but unfortunately mscorlib_ni+0x4102 (78a44102)
isn't very helpful.
I have tried !mln
, !mdt
and even unrealistic !ip2mt
, but none of them displays the expected byte
or byte[]
output. Is there a way of getting the type from that native image of mscorlib?
One way to do it is to dump the IL corresponding to the method that the array is being created in.
First, use !clrstack
to get the method you're in. In my case I'm in a dummy app in the Main
method:
0:000> !clrstack
OS Thread Id: 0x7d0 (0)
Child SP IP Call Site
0016f094 758dc42d [HelperMethodFrame: 0016f094]
0016f120 003200af ConsoleApplication4.Program.Main(System.String[]) [c:UserssmtDocumentsVisual Studio 2012ProjectsConsoleApplication4Program.cs @ 215]
0016f2bc 743b3de2 [GCFrame: 0016f2bc]
Next use !name2ee
to get the method desc of this method (the next command needs it):
0:000> !name2ee ConsoleApplication4!ConsoleApplication4.Program.Main
Module: 00282eac
Assembly: ConsoleApplication4.exe
Token: 0600013c
MethodDesc: 00283dbc
Name: ConsoleApplication4.Program.Main(System.String[])
JITTED Code Address: 00320050
Now, dump the IL of the method:
0:000> !dumpil 00283dbc
ilAddr = 002d4bc4
IL_0000: nop
IL_0001: newobj class [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.List`1<?????? ??????n?.::.ctor
IL_0006: stloc.0
IL_0007: br.s IL_001e
IL_0009: nop
IL_000a: ldc.i4 2147483647
IL_000f: newarr System.Single
IL_0014: stloc.1
IL_0015: ldloc.0
IL_0016: ldloc.1
IL_0017: callvirt class [mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.List`1<?????? ??????N?.::Add
IL_001c: nop
IL_001d: nop
IL_001e: ldc.i4.1
IL_001f: stloc.2
IL_0020: br.s IL_0109
For comparison, this is my method in C#:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<float[]> arrays = new List<float[]>();
while (true)
{
float[] f = new float[Int32.MaxValue];
arrays.Add(f);
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
You can see on line IL_000f that a new array of type System.Single
is being created.
I went down this road because I can't decipher the argument being passed to the actual native method that creates the array. If you run kb
at the point the exception is thrown:
0:000> kb

...
You can see that clr!JIT_NewArr1
is being called, which creates a one-dimensional array. To do that, it needs the type and the size. These arguments are copied into ecx
and edx
, respectively:
0:000> !u 003200AF
...
003200a0 b9e2302a73 mov ecx,offset mscorlib_ni+0x30e2 (732a30e2)
003200a5 baffffff7f mov edx,7FFFFFFFh
003200aa e89121f5ff call 00272240 (JitHelp: CORINFO_HELP_NEWARR_1_VC)
>>> 003200af 8945e8 mov dword ptr [ebp-18h],eax
003200b2 8b45e8 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-18h]
003200b5 8945f0 mov dword ptr [ebp-10h],eax
...
As you can see, ecx
gets 732a30e2
, which somehow maps to the type information for System.Single
, but I can't figure out how...
