Symbol Matching

WINDBG
1

Hi All,

Could someone tell me how the symbols are matched when we load it to
windbg ?

Our build process takes quite a bit of time, and at the end it takes
those pdb files and
put it in a separate place. So there might be a difference of 3 hr
time. Is it going to cause
symbol mismatch warning when we try to debug ?

thx

Symbol matching with PDBs is done by comparing the PDB signature value
in the PDB header with the PDB signature value stored in the debug
directory of the image.

I don’t understand what you are worried about with timestamps as the
linker produces the PDB and binary at the same time & should have the
same timestamp.
