What debug formats does BugTrapper support?
BugTrapper supports debug information only from PDB files. If the debug information is stored in the EXE file, MSdev can read it, but BugTrapper can’t. If there is no PDB, BugTrapper will show the exported functions from the DLLs. When a PDB exists, BugTrapper finds a pointer to it either in the EXE, or, if the symbols from the EXE where split into a DBG file, BugTrapper finds the pointer in the DBG file. Sometimes the debug information is split into a few PDB files. This is what is called “separate types”. BugTrapper can find and use the information from these files. BugTrapper looks for the DBG and PDB files in there original places (where they were initially generated), or in the same path as the EXE exists. It also looks for them in the system files. The system files are determined as follows: For each of the environment variables _NT_ALT_SYMBOL_PATH, _NT_SYMBOL_PATH and SystemRoot, BugTrapper looks under them (if they are defined) for a directory symbols\exe or symbols\dll for fin
