I am dumping a class in Windbg (by dt) and for a bool member I see the value fffffffffffffff8 (bin: …1111111111111111000). It is a valid value (including padding) or not?
PS: i’m investigating a dump that may be a memory corruption so .. can’t be sure.
PS2: my bool is in class between a pointer and a size_t. Compiled as release.
It’s not a valid
boolvalue —boolshould only show up as0or1. Since you’re seeing 0xf8, the memory is either not initialized or overwritten. (Note that for some reason, WinDbg will only read a single byte and then sign-extend it to 64-bits.)
