.natvis files and type templates in WinDbg

A case of a deadlock in a .NET application

A native stackwalk funtion like Stackwalk64 cannot handle mixed-mode stacks, since managed code does not use the stack in the same way as native code does. There is an API called IDebugClient, that does walk a mixed-mode stack correctly, which we will explore.

Understand exactly what happens during object allocation in .NET, why it's extremely efficient in the common case, and how to trigger slower code paths
