How to list call stack of all managed threads using WinDBG?

Question

I have a dump created from a managed application. I am using SOS/SOSEX extentions to ease my dump analysis. I'd like to list down the call stack of all managed threads as we do ~*kb with native applications. How do we do that?

Use the sos !EEStack command:

0:007> .load sos
0:007> !EEStack

See SOS.dll (SOS Debugging Extension)

.loadby sos clr is better (for .NET 4) or .loadby sos mscorwks – Ana Betts Nov 17 '11 at 08:02

For .net 4 i downloaded the .net 4 version of sos, Psscor4 http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=21255, place the dll into the windbg folder - matching the correct dll with the correct windbg version (32bit|64bit) then to load `.load Psscor4.dll` – Chris Moutray Mar 08 '13 at 10:54

Note that this requires the appropriate debugging extension to be loaded first via `.loadby sos clr` – Dirk Vollmar May 09 '18 at 15:57

Or `~*e!clrstack` – AlexPi Feb 04 '22 at 07:07

with sosex, use ~*e!mk (~ - thread, * - all, e - execute this command, !mk - display managed stack. Most of the commands in sosex mirror the native command, but have the m (managed) in front of them.
