At Microsoft I can download the Windows Symbol Packages for XP, Vista, Server, even Windows 7. My Problem is: how do I use these Symbols with Visual Studio? Where in VS 2008 can I add the downloaded and extracted symbols, so I can debug into Windows itself? What I want to achieve: I want to debug _beginthreadex/endthreadex, to see why/...
Is is wise to redistribute the pdb files along with a commercial application? Occasionally, I'm using the stack trace to get a more detailed error reporting logs from the deployed applications; can this functionality be achieved without relying to those files? Also, how much hints of the original source code does these files contain? W...
Every text I've read about Ruby symbols talks about the efficiency of symbols over strings. But, this isn't the 1970s. My computer can handle a little bit of extra garbage collection. Am I wrong? I have the latest and greatest Pentium dual core processor and 4 gigs of RAM. I think that should be enough to handle some Strings. ...
I need to add icons (16x16) for my application. The icons must be showing images of +,-,x,%,<,>,!= and symbols like that. Is there any site where i can get it? Or any software which can quickly help me generate them. I'm bad in designing them. Also suggest me a site where i can get free collection of Icons or Images, (i can convert imag...
If you create 10,000 strings in a loop, a lot of garbage collection has to take place which uses up a lot of resources. If you do the same thing with symbols, you create objects which cannot be garbage collected. Which is worse? ...
Hi, I am trying to configure our in house development code as a symbol server, with source control file access when debugging in Visual Studio 2008. We can use this on other projects that reference our core set of libraries. Sadly, we use SourceGear Vault for our SCM system, which is currently unsupported when it comes to indexing our ...

What are the settings in Xcode to strip symbols for an iphone application? I use these settings in Xcode but still see classnames and their methods in the executable using a binary file editor. Deployment: 1) Deployment Postprocessing (checked) 2) Strip Debug Symbols During Copy (checked) 3) Strip Linked Product (checked) 4) Use Separ...
Our nightly build process was broken for a long time, such that it generated PDB files that were a few hours different in age than the corresponding image files. I have since fixed the problem. However, I would like to start using a symbol server, but cannot due to having to use these age-mismatched pdb files. I work around this is...
Hi, I need to set the Django forms.ChoiceField to display the currency symbols. Since django forms escape all the HTML ASCII characters, I can't get the $ ( ) or the £ ( ) to display the currency symbol. <select id="id_currency" name="currency"> <option value="&#36;">$</option> <option value="&pound;">&...
On Linux with the GNU toolchain, I know how to control exported symbols from a shared library with a version script (gcc -Wl,--version-script=symbols.map), but I would like to list exported symbols on the command line instead. IOW, I would like the equivalent of link /EXPORT:foo from the MS toolchain. Is it possible ? EDIT: My quest...
Hi, Until now I've always used the ASP.NET MVC framework source for debugging ASP.NET MVC. On my laptop I just tried a different approach, namely bringing up the "Modules" window in VS while I am debugging and right-clicking System.Web.Mvc, then select "Load Symbols From" > "Microsoft Symbol Servers". VS seemed to actually load someth...
Update: I posted a comment on John Robbins blog about the. He wrote a response here: http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2009/06/19/do-pdb-files-affect-performance.aspx The project I am working on does not build symbols for its release binaries, and I would like to change this. Some info: Mostly C++ code base, some C...
We're running continuous integration builds from TFS, and generating a lot of symbol files that we store using symstore.exe (67GB worth in the last year or so.) How do other people clean up their symbol files? Do you automate the process? ...
As I am building a Flex framework for minigames, I plan to bundle a bunch of graphic assets (movieclip symbols) into a single swf file, which I will load into my Flex application, before extracting the symbols from the swf file for use in my application. My question is this: how do I do this through actionscript? Thanks! ...
I am new to Windows programming. What does the number 16 in the DLL symbol _FooBar@16 represent? ...
I came across the following while reading about how easy it is to redefine methods in Ruby: class Array alias :old_length :length def length old_length / 2 end end puts [1, 2, 3].length Sure, it's a bad idea, but it makes the point. But it bothered me that we switch between :length and length and :old_length and old_length s...
I am trying to write a php function to stop MySQL injection attempts. What I am doing is using str_replace() to remove symbols and replace them with with their HTML character code. My issue is that the codes all contain &#; but I also want to replace those symbols with their codes. How can I do this without changing the code into somet...
When using the MnSymbol package, pdflatex gives two font warnings: LaTeX Font Warning: Encoding 'OMS' has changed to 'U' for symbol font (Font) 'symbols' in the math version 'normal' on input line 120.
