dumpbin nk.exe

[Nguyen Nguyen]

Hello,

I noticed that on certain builds when I do dumpbin /disasm nk.exe, I get the
function name along with the disassembly of the code, but on other build, it
does not have it.

Do you know what environment controls it? Or what controls it, in
particular?

Thanks,

Nguyen

To add to it, here is what I meant.

StartUp:
00011000: EB000002 bl 00011010
00011004: EB000020 bl 0001108C
00011008: EB000026 bl 000110A8
0001100C: EA0050D5 b OALStartUp
00011010: E3A000D3 mov r0, #0xD3

Sometimes I can see StartUp. Now, I don't see it anymore.

Thanks for your help.

Do you have the nk.pdb file in the same directory as nk.exe?

NK.EXE is just a copy of one of the KERN*.EXE files. Unfortunately, the
copy process doesn't redirect its PDB. DUMPBIN /HEADERS NK.EXE should
display the debug directory which contains the name of the PDB file that
needs to be in the same directory as NK.EXE. For example:

Debug Directories

Time Type Size RVA Pointer
-------- ------ -------- -------- --------
419A609D cv 25 0001CE78 1C278 Format: RSDS,
{F5E334D7-BCC1-4CBA-8A71-3C0AB0BFEB50}, 1, kernkitl.pdb

In the above case, you would need KERNKITL.PDB to be with NK.EXE.

If the PDB file is present, but you still don't see symbols from DUMPBIN
/DISASM, it's likely your PDB is stale and you need to rebuild. This might
happen if you rebuilt NK.EXE while another process (like the debugger) was
holding the PDB open.
