I’ve been debugging a browser plugin lately. The debugging process goes like this:
1) Build new plugin and register it with regsvr32.
2) Run browser.
3) Attach to browser process with visual studio.
Whenever I attach to the browser process I never get any symbols in my call stacks… Breakpoints work however… But I really need to be able to see what the threads are doing…
The .pdb files are located right next to the libraries the browser plugin depends upon. How can I tell Visual Studio about the location of the PDB files?
Go to Options -> Debugging -> Symbols and add the directory into there.
