Doubt in Softice!

Hello

I have a clarification in softice.
I open symbol loader in softice.
I open a .sys file and say Module->Translate.
I get an error saying “Error: no debug information found”.

I have the .pdb file also in the same directory as the .sys file.

What could be the problem?

Thanks
Venky

One possible reason could be that it is a release
build.

The newer DDK versions (which include the XP build environments) come with VC 7.
They need this for compiling/linking the driver. SoftICE can not read symbols
generated by VC 7. In this case you should use an older (Win2k only) DDK or wait
for an update for SoftICE (use Windbg meanwhile).

I’ll expand on this… build the .nms file using “nmsym”
(nmsym is provided with softice).

I use the following line in the Custom Build section of
the Visual Studio project settings.

$(DRIVERWORKS)\bin\nmsym /trans:source;package;always $(TARGETPATH)

This can easily be adapted for use in a makefile.

The .nms is the file that you “translate” to be able to perform
‘source code debugging’ in sice.

Could you tell me where you found this requirement? I had XP DDK for build
2600, but i didn’t find this in its installation manual.

thanks a lot.

The DDK Build 2600 comes with a limited version of VC 7 (no IDE). It uses this
for compiling everything you build from one of the build environments (just have
a look in the bin\ directory - cl.exe is the compiler). This happens regardless
if you have VC 6 installed or not.
The symbols/debug info generated by this build process can not be read by
SoftICE (yet).
I read about this in the NT Insider newsletter, but I am sure, that it is
mentioned in the DDK docs or at their Web page somewhere too.

Venky,

What version of DriverStudio you’re using, and on which Operating System ?
If you’re trying to do development on Windows XP, you must force your build
to generate VC6 symbols, because we don’t as yet support VC7 symbols.
There’s a switch in the linker that generates the executable with VC6
symbols. However, you’ll find out that we cannot use the pdb symbol files
that come with Windows XP, because they’re in VC7 format.

Another thing is, there’s a pick in the symbol loader, at
“module/settings/translation”, make sure you click on “symbols and source
code” and also pick the “package source with symbol table” option.

Hope this helps,

Alberto.
