I have a Winodws Mobile 6.1 application running on an ARMV4I processor. Given a stack address (from unwinding an exception), I like to determine what module owns that address.

Using the ToolHelpAPI, I'm able to determine most modules using the following method:

HANDLE snapshot = ::CreateToolhelp32Snapshot( TH32CS_SNAPMODULE | TH32CS_GETALLMODS, 0 );
if( INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE != snapshot ) 
{
    MODULEENTRY32 mod = { 0 };
    mod.dwSize = sizeof( mod );
    if( ::Module32First( snapshot, &mod ) ) 
    {
        do {
            if( stack_address > (DWORD)mod.modBaseAddr && 
                stack_address < (DWORD)( mod.modBaseAddr + mod.modBaseSize ) )
            {
                // Found the module!
                // offset = stack_address - mod.modBaseAddr
                break;
            }
        } while( ::Module32Next( snapshot, &mod ) );
    }
    ::CloseToolhelp32Snapshot( snapshot );
}

But, I don't always seem to be able to find a module that matches an address. For example:

stack address        module       offset
0x03f65bd8      coredll.dll + 0x0001bbd8
0x785cab1c        mylib.dll + 0x0002ab1c
0x785ca9e8        mylib.dll + 0x0002a9e8
0x785ca0a0        mylib.dll + 0x0002a0a0
0x785c8144        mylib.dll + 0x00028144
0x3001d95c              ???
0x3001dd44              ???      
0x3001db90              ???      
0x03f88030      coredll.dll + 0x0003e030
0x03f8e46c      coredll.dll + 0x0004446c
0x801087c4              ???      
0x801367b4              ???      
0x8010ce78              ???      
0x801086dc              ???      
0x03f8e588      coredll.dll + 0x00044588
0x785a56a4        mylib.dll + 0x000056a4
0x785bdd60        mylib.dll + 0x0001dd60
0x785bbd0c        mylib.dll + 0x0001bd0c
0x785bdb38        mylib.dll + 0x0001db38
0x3001db20              ???      
0x3001dc40              ???      
0x3001a8a4              ???      
0x3001a79c              ???      
0x03f67348      coredll.dll + 0x0001d348

Where do I find those stack addresses that are missing? Any suggestions?

Thanks, PaulH
