Solid C and C++ knowledge is a must to fully understand Windows diagnostic artifacts, such as memory dumps, and perform diagnostic, forensic, and root cause analysis beyond listing stack traces, DLLs, and driver information. This full-color reference book (second edition) is a part of the Accelerated C & C++ for Windows Diagnostics training course organized by Software Diagnostics Services. The text contains slides, brief notes highlighting particular points, and illustrative source code fragments. The third edition includes 50 updated Visual Studio projects totaling more than 9,000 lines of code, more than 60 new slides covering additional topics, and new content related to ARM64 Windows and kernel space. The book's detailed Table of Contents makes the usual Index redundant. We hope this reference is helpful for the following audiences:
- C and C++ developers who want to deepen their knowledge
- Software engineers developing and maintaining products on Windows platforms
- Technical support, escalation, DevSecOps, cloud and site reliability engineers dealing with complex software issues
- Quality assurance engineers who test software on Windows platforms
- Security and vulnerability researchers, reverse engineers, malware and memory forensics analysts
