Subject: [ntdev] RE: How can I debug my driver at source-level with
So ftICE?My only need is a development/debugger system that works with any release
of
Windows. Perhaps the biggest problem with SoftIce is that it insists on
using NMS files instead of the PDB files that are generated by the
compiler/linker?
If they were able to access debug info in new PDB files, there would be no
problem converting them to NMS. To access PDB info, you need a m$ DLL which
is able to do it. Personally, I prefer NMS way because sources can be
packaged with symbols and the NMS file is the only thing necessary for
source debugging. It helps when a crash occur on another computer. Also, I
save NMS files with all binaries so have no problem debugging an old version
which causes problem for a customer (no need to restore source tree from
VCS).
Gary, I can understand you can’t resist but is it really necessary to start
the windbg versus softice discussion again and again?
