Well, the big ball ‘O duct tape that is my hacks on symbolstore.py are complete for now – here is the patch. This project will be carried on in the next term at which point I hope to address some of the current issues, namely – manipulating the directory structure, cleaning up the python [...]

To the wall…

After many nights of tweaking this space, that path, this logic – the symbolstore.py script is now playing nice with pdbstr and the pdb files are getting indexed. So begins the second battle – how to get Visual Studio to pull the code out of CVS and locate that code on the local drive. [...]
Symbols and Installers are giving me a headache.

I’m not sure where things are going wrong right now so I am hoping that you – faithful readers – will be able to help me out. I have run the “make buildsymbols” and checked with srctool.exe to confirm that the pdb files are source indexed. So following that I made an installer [...]

Huge changes since last night’s post.
I can insert a .stream file (see previous post for what a .stream file data block contains) into an unindexed .pdb file via pdbstr -w as long as it has certain variables.
I still need to test what the minimum info needed is, right now I just copied [...]
Moving pdbstr.exe into the mozilla environment
Posted in open-source, symbol server on December 1, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Working on 0.3 release of source server is all about getting the pdb files gathered up when symbolstore.py is made and then feeding them to pdbstr.exe.

So far I have [...]
