  1. PODumping STL strings with WinDbg
    text
    copied!<p>I can't dump STL strings with WinDbg anymore - I used to be able to dump an STL string using the command: <code>dt -r (MSVCP90!string) address</code>, or for wide strings, <code>dt -r (MSVCP90!wstring) address</code>. Unfortunately I can't do this anymore - I have a symbol path, and when I list modules it shows that symbols are loaded for MSVCP90:</p> <p><code>74110000 7419e000 MSVCP90 (pdb symbols) x:\symbols\msvcp90.i386.pdb\A23D796E66BB430B891568A6EF0C750C1\msvcp90.i386.pdb</code></p> <p>When I execute the command, the output I get is this:</p> <pre><code>0:025&gt; dt -r (MSVCP90!string) ************************************************************************* *** *** *** *** *** Your debugger is not using the correct symbols *** *** *** *** In order for this command to work properly, your symbol path *** *** must point to .pdb files that have full type information. *** *** *** *** Certain .pdb files (such as the public OS symbols) do not *** *** contain the required information. Contact the group that *** *** provided you with these symbols if you need this command to *** *** work. *** *** *** *** Type referenced: MSVCP90!string *** *** *** ************************************************************************* Symbol MSVCP90!string not found. </code></pre> <p>My symbol path is set like so:</p> <pre><code>0:025&gt; .sympath Symbol search path is: srv*X:\Symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols Expanded Symbol search path is: srv*x:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols </code></pre> <p>I have found the SDbgExt extension, but from what I read it was for the 7.0 version of the runtime - this is 9.0.</p> <p>Does anyone have an idea on why this feature has ceased to work? I really can't live without it!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>EDIT: For good measure, I also tried enabling noisy symbol mode. I got this output:</p> <pre><code>0:025&gt; .reload /f MSVCP90.dll DBGHELP: MSVCP90 - public symbols x:\symbols\msvcp90.i386.pdb\A23D796E66BB430B891568A6EF0C750C1\msvcp90.i386.pdb </code></pre> <p>So it really looks like my symbols are fine.</p>
