No symbol table

(1/1)

johne53:
Occasionally when trying to debug an application I see this message in the output window:-

No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.

This seems to turn up sporadically, at random - but when it does, the app usually can't be debugged. What does it mean by "Use the "file" command"?

Forget it, I figured this out. Although my Build Target was set to Win32 Debug. I noticed a line in the output window saying, "adding file: Release/bin/my_app.exe"

So it was actually trying to debug the Release version, instead of the Debug version. Setting the Build Target to "Release" then back to "Debug" again has solved the problem.
