Windbg help needed

[skywalker]

I recently  installed windbg. I think I need to do this first, but not sure how to.

<You must install the symbol files for the user-mode process that is being debugged. If this is an application you <have written, it should be built with full symbol files.

I want to set some breakpoints and step thru the code to see what going on. I have read the help, but still don't know how to do this.

Thanks.

Hi Skywalker. Try this:

Code Select Expand


ml /c /Cp /coff /Fm /Zi /Zf /Zd /I"\masm32\Include" MyFile.asm
link /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /DEBUG /VERSION:4.0 /LIBPATH:"\masm32\lib" /OUT:"MyFile.exe" MyFile.obj


Use the Microsoft linker and it should spit out a large .PDB file. See this link for a full tutorial:

This is what I'm getting. It assembles normally using Qeditor.
This is my batch file.

This also outputs the list file as well.

Save as BLDALLD.BAT, then add to the QEditor Menu.

Thanks.
I went to edit menus but can't figure out what to do next.

skywalker,

Be sure to copy BldallD.bat to \MASM32\BIN\.

In QEditor:
Under Edit is 'Edit Menu'
Add this line under the regular 'Build' option.
Build All &Debug,\MASM32\BIN\BldallD.bat {b}

Then Save and Exit.

This works for using Visual Studio to do your debugging with too.  You see your source execute line by line, while stepping through the execution.

This is what I put in the menu. It makes the .pdb file OK.
Only thing is it isn't under the project pick, it's part of the larger menu.
This automation stuff is pretty neat.
