C++ Debug Problem - pdb file
I have several DLLs in my project that are defined to create their *.pdb file (debug info) inside the same folder. The problem is that the only *.pdb file that actually exist inside this folder is the one that belongs to the last compiled DLL. As a result I can debug only the last project (each compilation deletes all the *.pdb in the fo...
How can I get all the .pdb files in the same folder?
I have a solution in Visual Studio 2008, it has dozens of projects. I would like to have all the pdb in the same folder. From the property page of a project I see that the pdb will go to the "Intermediate Directory"; also .obj files go to the "Intermediate Directory". Each of our projects has its own folder because we want to keep the...
Debugging a DLL from VS2008 in VC6
I am currently debugging a project in VC6 (slowly porting it over to VS2008). The project links to a DLL that I have produced in VS2008 with a Debug build. (I know - a strange situation to find myself in.) I need to debug the project in VC6 and step into the calls to the DLL. Even though I have the PDB alongside the DLL, VC6 still repor...
How to include pdb files in MSI installer to deploy along side the rest of the app?
How to include pdb files in MSI installer to deploy along side the rest of the app? I want to keep the line numbers and full stack trace in error logs we generate. Update The line numbers of the code are not reported in the stacktrace unless you distribute the pdb's, I've tested this. How can when I build the MSI and I've asked the M...
C# - Set path to pdb
Is there any way to set a custom path to Program Database files (*.pdb) in C# under Visual Studio 2008? With C++ this was quite simple (Project settings -> Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Program Database File), but for some reason Microsoft seems to have removed (or hidden) it for C#. I'm aware that the "standard" usage is to have pdb...
Control pdb file output from build defintion file
Hello, I am trying to generate a release build with no pdb files generated. I have seen numerous posts that suggest right-clicking on the project, selecting Properties, going to the Build tab and then to the Advanced... butoon and changing Debug Info to none. This works and all, but I need to do this for a build of ~50 solutions which...
In Visual Studio, can I put breakpoints in code for which I only have debugging symbols?
Since I do not have access to the complete source code of a library I'm using, but I do have the pdb files, is it possible to set a breakpoint in the "debugging source code"? If so, how would I do that? ...
PostSharp , PDB Debugging and Referenced Assemblies ...
When using PostSharp with a Referenced Assembly with proper PDB info( checked with chkmatch), it seems strange that the debug info gets lost by VStudio build and post compile process and I get the following error by using chkmatch to compare the assembly after the vstudio build. Error: Debug information not found in the executable. So ...
Preventing referenced assembly PDB and XML files copied to output
I have a Visual Studio 2008 C#/.NET 3.5 project with a post build task to ZIP the contents. However I'm finding that I'm also getting the referenced assemblies' .pdb (debug) and .xml (documentation) files in my output directory (and ZIP). For example, if MyProject.csproj references YourAssembly.dll and there are YourAssembly.xml and Yo...

I am working in a software company on a system software product. Day before yesterday that product got crashed and core shown. To findout exact problem, I want to know full core stack with function names(kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll .. not showing function names). I have downloaded WINDOWS debug symbols from Microsoft site. http://www.micro...
PDB file from different versions of Visual Studio
I have an old DLL file which was built with VC++ 6. Now I need to investigate the dump file but I don't have its PDB available. The stacktrace reported by WinDbg is also inaccurate. Is it possible to rebuild the project with later versions of Visual Studio i.e. 2003, 2005, 2008, have the PDB generated, and use this to map addresses to ...
how to merge stripped symbols with binary?
I compiled the Qt Framework with debugging enabled, but the script stripped the debugging symbols from the libraries and saved them as *.debug files -- just like here. Sadly I need these symbols inside the .so files, so I can continue working with them. There seems no way to teach my debugger to load external (non-PDB) symbols. So anothe...
Missing line number in stack trace eventhough the PDB files are included
This is running me nuts. I have this web service implemented w/ C# using VS 2008. I publish it on IIS. I have modified the release build so the pdb files are copied along with the dlls into the target directory on inetpub. Also web.config file has debug=true. Then I call a web service that throws an exception. The stack trace does not...
Visual C++ 2008 runtime error-- debug vs release exe problem?
Hi everyone, I have a Windows executable (native, not .Net) project that I'm trying to pass along to a new team member. It's a graphics modeling tool that uses the Qt widget library and OpenGL. The project runs fine on my box but when we buld and link it on this new member's machine and he tries deubugging it, here's what he sees (not...
How to create a .MAP file from a .PDB file
I would like to create a simple .MAP file listing addresses and symbol names from a PDB file. My natural inclination was to look for a tool named "pdb2map", but most of the results I get for that appear to refer to a sample program from the CD included with Debugging Applications for Microsoft .NET and Microsoft Windows, which unfortunat...
How can I get the GUID from a PDB file?
Hello, Does anyone know how to get the GUID from a PDB file? I'm using Microsoft's Debug Interface Access SDK http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f0756hat.aspx and getting E_PDB_INVALID_SIG when passing in the GUID i expect when trying to load the PDB. I'd just like to know the GUID of the PDB so I can be certain that it's mism...

Need to lookup function arguments (in/out) from pdb by dbghelp
I need to lookup function parameters(their types infact) from PDB file From dbghelp, we can parse any pdb and can get info like how many functions,addresses function names and others etc. My problem is I am also interested to get function parameters as well. As SYMBOL_INFO structure in callback function only contains symbolName,Address...
