I blogged this a long time ago, and I don’t know if it still valid or not, but the code is something like… private void testfile(string file) { if(isAssemblyDebugBuild(file)) { MessageBox.Show(String.Format(“{0} seems to be a debug build”,file)); } else { MessageBox.Show(String.Format(“{0} seems to be a release build”,file)); } } private bool isAssemblyDebugBuild(string filename) { return … Read more
If no better alternatives exist, you could put the breakpoint in code: System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break(); Just don’t forget to remove it afterwards…
Check the “Strip Debug Symbols During Copy” option in your Xcode target’s build settings. Its saying that it cant strip debug symbols because the extension was already signed.
Symbols can be set up correctly in various different ways. WARNING: The examples here use \\server\symbols which is typically a network storage that is not available. Adapt it to your local server or leave that part out completely if you don’t have one. A non-existent server may cause delays etc. TLDR version for 80% of … Read more
Add this line to the file CMakeLists.txt: set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)
I think that the version of libc with debug symbols is in /usr/lib/debug/lib. I tried setting my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to have this at the front of the path but that did not seem to make a difference. These are not the droids you are looking for. The libraries in /usr/lib/debug are not real libraries. Rather, … Read more
You can’t do this in a very fine grained fashion but you can disable automatic symbol loading and then manually choose the symbols to load via the Modules window (Debug -> Windows -> Modules). To Disable Automatic Symbol loading Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Symbols Check “Search the above locations only when symbols are … Read more
Here is another question to look at: Are there any security issues leaving the PDB debug files on the live servers? And more info on PDB files: PDB Files: What Every Developer Must Know In general, I always include pdb files in my deployments, the gains are too huge to ignore. If you never expose … Read more
Check if any debugging symbols weren’t in binary. Also possible is using GDB (on Windows a port of it). It would be great if you found a .dbg or .dSYM file. They contain source code, eg. gdb> list foo 56 void foo() 57 { 58 bar(); 59 sighandler_t fnc = signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN); 60 raise(SIGHUP); 61 … Read more
I would suggest using gdb as the simplest approach. You can even do it as a one-liner, like: gdb -batch -ex ‘file /bin/ls’ -ex ‘disassemble main’
