Soft-ice bug?

NTDEV

Hello, All!

Soft-ice does not distinguish symbols between drivers and dlls with the same
names… How to tell soft-ice that symbols “symbols.nms” for “symbols.sys”
not for “symbols.dll” when both loaded?

Eugene.

You don’t! SYMLOC is a real pain to use and not very practical to use for a
lot of testing. Rename the DLL or the driver.

Unfortunately, this is right. The easiest way is to rename one of modules.
If not possible, write a macro which calls SYMLOC with correct parameters
(see docs). As a temporary workaround you can reload symbols for current
module just before debugging but I’m not sure if it helps. SoftICE is rather
silly in this area and I had to learn to use unique names for my modules…
so already forgot possible workarounds.
