Configuring the Scan for Debug Information
The functionality of
Load Available Debug Symbols (formerly named Load This) is based on scanning the memory for PE/COFF module headers.
The default way of loading debug information by pressing
Load Available Debug Symbols button (see instructions here) implies the following conditions to be true:
- You want to load the debug information of the module being currently executed.This means that the start address for the scanning is the current program counter.
- Most of modules to be loaded are aligned at the page boundary.This means, the default stride equals the page size.
- Modules to be loaded are not bigger than 4KB.
To load information with custom parameters, launch the
ISD Shell and execute the following command:
threads[N].symbols.load_this([<start>], [<alignment>], [<search_range>])
where:
- Nis the number of a hardware thread
- startpoints to the address to start scanning for debug information
- alignmentdefines the scan stride size in bytes
- search_rangedefines the scan range size in bytes.
All parameters are optional - if you omit them, the default values are used.
