Microsoft CodeView Spec

[garfield]

Hello, there,

I'm looking for Microsoft's "CodeView Symbolic Debug Information Spec". After quite a bit search on the web, it seems that this spec had been published once on MSDN by 1999. However, MS removed this spec from the current MSDN.

I'll appreciate any advice about how to get this spec.

Thanks,

Plenty of info is still provide in the MSDN cds.

You might try a search here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/find.asp) for "under the hood" articles published in the Microsoft Systems Journal. The SDK and DDK put out by Microsoft might help too.


Also have you tried a Google search for "codeview symbols" or "codeview debugger"?


Anyway, you may have already tried all of these suggestions. So hopefully, someone with more debugging know-how will chime in.


Good Luck :)

thank you very much, ghost. yes, i did quite a bit search on the web before i came here for help. i tried a couple of keywords slightly different from yours. i just tried yours. i found something interesting, but still not sure if this is what i'm looking for. i sent a request to microsoft for help - i just found out this moments ago.

MSDN LIBRARY CDs (with VB6) had 124 search results for "codeview symbolic" including "Symbolic Debug Information:
This document describes the format and meaning of the information of the Microsoft CodeView debugging information." by Visual C++ Product Unit, VC5.0 Symbolic Debug Information Specification. Authors: Steve Smith, Dan Spalding, et al.

Don't know if is the sort of stuff you are looking for. I was reinstalling the CDs just as Ghost made the suggestion! - but hadn't had a chance till now to have a look around.

Don't know if this will help or not. But if you follow the link below this will take you back to the pages MS published in 1999 concerning msdn
