my point is just saying that 2/3 of the information put in traces is in decimal which is a measurement of what is expected as format for integral values
Yes, I understand. And I'm saying that such an estimate likely overstates the utility of decimal format for integral values, because the trace may well mask out the bits that would make a hexadecimal trace confusing.
Note that I don't have a firm opinion over the best format in winedbg, I'm all for changing it if it makes sense, but this argument doesn't lend support to your position, IMO. --Juan
