Basically what I want to do it this: a pdb file contains a location of source files (e.g. C:\dev\proj1\helloworld.cs). Is it possible to modify that pdb file so that it contains a different location (e.g. \more\differenter\location\proj1\helloworld.cs)? ...
How do list the symbols being exported from a .so file. If possible, I'd also like to know their source (e.g. if they are pulled in from a static library). I'm using gcc 4.0.2, if that makes a difference ...
I want to write a small utility to call arbitrary functions from a C shared library. User should be able to list all the exported functions similar to what objdump or nm does. I checked these utilities' source but they are intimidating. Couldn't find enough information on google, if dl library has this functionality either. (Clarificati...
Linux/Gcc/LD - Toolchain. I would like to remove STL/Boost debug symbols from libraries and executable, for two reasons: Linking gets very slow for big programs Debugging jumps into stl/boost code, which is annoying For 1. incremental linking would be a big improvement, but AFAIK ld does not support incremental linking. There is a w...
How do I set the symbol for the angle or annuity operation in LaTeX? Specifically, this is the actuarial a angle s = (1-vs)/i. ...
I want to debug an application in Visual Studio but I ONLY have the source code for 1 class. I only need to step through a single function in that file, but I don't understand what I need to do it. I think the steps are normally something like this: Open a file in VS Load in the "symbols" (.PDB file) Attach to the running process I...

I've got a minidump file from a crash in one of our apps. It's a 32-bit native app, and it was running on 64-bit Windows. If I load the minidump file into WinDbg, WinDbg won't load the symbols for the system DLLs. I've got my symbol paths configured correctly: _NT_SYMBOL_PATH=SRV*C:\WebSymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols...
I've got an application that loads .so files as plugins at startup, using dlopen() The build environment is running on x86 hardware, but the application is being cross compiled for another platform. It would be great if I could (as part of the automated build process) do a check to make sure that there aren't any unresolved symbols in ...
For example, in http://homepages.cwi.nl/~paulv/papers/algorithmicstatistics.pdf at the bottom of page 5 and top of page 6, he uses a plus/equal symbol and a similar plus/lessthan symbol. I can't figure out how to make that symbol, and I'd like to quote him. Any help? ...
I've read a few instances in reading mathematics and computer science that use the equivalence symbol ≡, (basically an '=' with three lines) and it always makes sense to me to read this as if it were equality. What is the difference between these two concepts? ...
How to generate the Symbols file of a PowerBuilder program for dump analysis? ...
Is there an analogous conditional-not-present attribute or maybe a way to use the Conditional attribute to only include a method if that symbol is not defined? What I'm looking for is something that works like this: [Conditional("!SILVERLIGHT")] private void DoStuffThatSilverlightCant() {...} Such that the method will not be included...
How do I use GDB to debug a program which do not have debugging symbols on a 32-bit x86 processor? Inspecting the function arguments, local variables, resolving pointers would be useful to know how to do. The intention is not really to use this for reverse engineering, as I'm sometimes just too lazy to install the debugging symbols and w...
I've long used cygwin's nm command for all my .lib symbol debugging needs, but recently I thought about referring to it in a SO answer and realized that most Windows developers don't have cygwin installed. So what is the Microsoft equivalent to nm, i.e., what command will list the symbols exported by a .lib file, the undefined symbols i...
I drew a little graph in paint that explains my problem: But it doesn't seem to show up when I use the <img> tag after posting? Here is a direct link: http://i44.tinypic.com/103gcbk.jpg ...
In a way following on from reading a windows *.dmp file Having received a dump file from random customer, running the debug session to see the crash, you often find it is in a MS or other third party library. The next issue is that you may not have knowledge of the PC setup to such an extent that you can ensure you have the actually mo...
How would you explain "symbols" in a way that a novice programmer like myself would understand? What are they? Are they some sort of mapping to functions? I would like to learn more advanced debugging techniques and this term has been a roadblock for me. ...
When using WinDbg, where should the private symbol files (pdb?) be placed? My situation is: I have a DLL which I want to debug. I have the source code and symbol files for this DLL. This DLL is called by another DLL (which I don't have symbols or source for) which, in turn, is called by an EXE (which I also don't have symbols or source ...
Is there a way to access everything in the symbol table in Ruby? I want to be able to serialize or otherwise save the current state of a run of a program. To do this, it seems I need to be able to iterate over all the variables in scope. ...
