Thanks Mark!

"Release builds typically don't have debug info associated with them." -- I am confused about what do you mean debug info? Associated PDB file or something else?

George

Debug info is short for debugging information, all controlled through
compiler and linker options.

Compiler:
/Z7, /Zi, /ZI (Debug Information Format)[^]
/Fd (Program Database File Name)[^]

Linker:
/DEBUG (Generate Debug Info)[^]
/PDB (Use Program Database)[^]

Hi Mark,

1.

I want to confirm with you all debug symbol information are all contained in PDB file -- not in binary itself?

2.

What is the differences between /PDB and /Fd? They both specify the PDB file name, differences are?

regards,
George

Thanks Mark,

The document I need is how debugger will utilize PDB file to resolve symbol names and also how debugger will use PDB to match the value with the related variable names.

I read your recommended documents, but they do not cover this topic. Do you have any documents about this topic to recommend? I did some search, but not find any. Smile | :)

George

By reading this description I think the Running Service uses the binary from the different location (Eg : C:\Program Files) and you kept your changes in Debug/Release folder of the project.
You have to replace changed binary at the location from where service initiates. Keep the PDB files related to it in same folder.
Then Start the service and try to debug .

Hope this will work for u....

Best Of luck.

Thanks Mahesh,

Does optimization setting in compiler impacts whether I could use PDB/source files opened in VS to attach and debug a running process?

Use an owner-drawn button. You can make it look any way you want.

Are you referring to a "splash screen?"

This question has only just been asked, and I suspect by you.

Search for "Splash Screen" && !FlashScreen...

The answers were clearly given. You do realise that it's not a picture of a search button that we have here?? It is in fact a fully functional bells-n-whistles Search Button, that strangely enough lets you search for things. D'Oh! | :doh:

What is wrong in this strcpy()?

What is wrong in this strcpy()?
I tried this function call, no compile time errors, but results in error during runtime.
What could be the problem in that function call?

char *s= "TEST";
char *s1= NULL;

char * s_cpy(char * s,char * s1)
{
char * p=(char*) malloc(strlen(s));
p=s;
printf("%s\n",p); // prints TEST
printf("%s\n",s1); // prints <null>
printf("%s\n",s); // prints TEST
strcpy(s1,p); //error, test.exe has encountered a problem
return s1;
}

Prints what? Junk? Zero? Null?

You never allocated memory to s1, but are trying to write to something to it.

I am sorry for tat.
Since i have already set
char *s1=NULL;

printf("%s\n",s1); // prints NULL

If you're calling s_cpy() function with s, s1 (global variables i.e.

char *s= "TEST";
char *s1= NULL;

) the formal parameter s1 will hold NULL (invalid pointer) which makes strcpy() crash.

The prototype for strcpy() is

char *strcpy( char *strDestination, const char *strSource);

Passing invalid pointer at any of the parameter to strcpy (or any string function taking char *) will crash the program.

Even when i change s1 to
char *s1="TEMP";

strcpy(s1,p); // resulting in error.
