Automatic deadlocks detection

[gubenkoved]

It would be very helpful to exercise WinDbg SOSEX plugin's automatic deadlock detection mechanism (command !dlk). It will allow catching "easy" deadlocks (which is majority of cases) very quickly.

Hi,

Thanks for the idea. Today, there is already something to see deadlocks with Blocking objects module.

I agree it's not as automatic as the feature you describe. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to work on Memoscope at the moment so I keep this feature request in my todo list (unless someone sends me a pull request).

Looks like http://www.stevestechspot.com isn't working anymore. Could you share this library?

There must have been a glitch on the site, it works for me now.

Home page works for me as well, but all links are broken or something. It is not possible to download any extension. For instance www.stevestechspot.com/downloads/sosex_64.zip doesn't work.
