Hi Dears,
GDB fails to trace a snippet compiled with MS Visual compilation tool chain.
May I ask you some hints ?
I smoothly generate my binary providing proper flags to compiler and linker in order to make them generate the symbols :
-------------- Clean: Dbg MS Visual in BuildCrocusCfgFile (compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010)---------------
Cleaned "BuildCrocusCfgFile - Dbg MS Visual"
-------------- Build: Dbg MS Visual in BuildCrocusCfgFile (compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010)---------------
cl.exe /nologo /GR /Od /Zi /EHc /EHs /I..\..\..\CommonIncludes /IE:\MSVisualStudio10\VC\include /c BuildCrocusCfgFile.cpp /Fo.objs\BuildCrocusCfgFile.obj
link.exe /nologo /LIBPATH:E:\MSVisualStudio10\VC\lib /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib" /out:MSDbg\BuildCrocusCfgFile.exe .objs\BuildCrocusCfgFile.obj /DEBUG
BuildCrocusCfgFile.cpp
LINK : MSDbg\BuildCrocusCfgFile.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link
Output size is 253.50 KB
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 1 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings (0 minutes, 1 seconds)
then I try to debug with GDB but nothing happens, even worse, GDb complains about symbol absence :
