i’m trying to debug a program, that i don’t have the source code for: explorer.exe
It’s a native Win32 application from Microsoft, and symbols are avilable.
All i need now is a (graphical) debugger that supports symbols.
- OllyDbg is a graphical debugger, but doesn’t support symbols.
- Delphi is a graphical debugger, but doesn’t support symbols.
- WinDbg is not a graphical debugger, which supports symbols.
- Visual C# Express Edition is not Win32 a debugger.
- Process Explorer supports symbols, but isn’t a debugger
- Process Monitor supports symbols, but isn’t a debugger
Have any new graphical debuggers that support Microsoft’s symbols server, been written in the last 6 months that i don’t know about?
A graphical debugger is one where you can see the disassembly, and can Step Into and Stop Over instructions, e.g.:
Delphi
OllyDebug:
IDA Pro

WinDbg does not show you a series of instructions:

Well, compared to cdb, WinDbg is a graphical debugger, albeit not the most friendly one in the world!
Visual Studio Pro is certainly a graphical debugger and supports symbol server, so you could try Visual Studio C++ Express.
