The suggested command objdump –debugging libinspected.a objdump –debugging libinspected.so gives me always the same result at least on Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2: libinspected.a: file format elf64-x86-64 libinspected.so: file format elf64-x86-64 no matter whether the archive/shared library was built with or without -g option What really helped me to determine whether -g was used is readelf tool: readelf … Read more
I would build with pdb-only. You will not be able to attach a debugger to the released product, but if you get a crash dump, you can use Visual Studio or WinDBG to examine the stack traces and memory dumps at the time of the crash. If you go with full rather than pdb-only, you’ll … Read more
Nothing I tried would fix this (tried both compilers, both debuggers, etc.) After upgrading XCode for the iOS 5 update, no stack traces seemed to work. However, I have found an effective work-around – creating my own exception handler (which is also useful for other reasons). First, create a function that will handle the error … Read more
Debug -> Delete All Breakpoints ( http://darrinbishop.com/blog/2010/06/sharepoint-2010-hangs-after-visual-studio-2010-f5-debugging ) After that you can use them again, but do it once. It will remove some kind of “invalid” breakpoints too and then loading symbols will be fast again. I was chasing this issue for days :(.
Because without the PDB files, it would be impossible to debug a “Release” build by anything other than address-level debugging. Optimizations really do a number on your code, making it very difficult to find the culprit if something goes wrong (say, an exception is thrown). Even setting breakpoints is extremely difficult, because lines of source … Read more
It really depends on what you’re going for: #if DEBUG: The code in here won’t even reach the IL on release. [Conditional(“DEBUG”)]: This code will reach the IL, however calls to the method will be omitted unless DEBUG is set when the caller is compiled. Personally I use both depending on the situation: Conditional(“DEBUG”) Example: … Read more
