debug symbols

[satpro]

I am hoping someone has an answer to this.  I need to find a way to generate symbols in an x64 GoAsm program.  Everything was good with GoBug until I moved over to 64-bit.  Looking at symbols in a debugger is so much better than guessing at everything.

I use GoLink and x64dbg now but am open to any linker that might be used with GoAsm.

Thank you.

ML.EXE /c /coff /Cp /Zi /Zd /nologo /I:"\Masm32\Include" MyApp.asm

LINK.EXE /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /DEBUG /DEBUGTYPE:CV /PDB:"MyApp.pdb" /VERSION:4.0 /LIBPATH:"\Masm32\Lib" /OUT:"MyApp.exe" MyApp.obj, MyApp.res
Not used GoAsm, so dont know if using just the microsoft linker will work, or if GoAsm.exe requires some other switch equivalent to the /Zd one used in ML.exe

Thank you.  That is my question, too.  I will keep looking, but it is confusing, to say the least.

Ahhh.... here is wishing for a GoBug made with all 64 bits... 

I am going to have to try something.

I use an older version of x64dbg, snapshot_2018-06-19-02, which I believe was one of the last versions that still supported embedded COFF debug symbols in the EXE.

I think at some point x64dbg used DbgHelp and then moved over to DIA instead from what I recall. So possibly thats the reason the older snapshot supports that, perhaps?

That was exactly what I needed!  Works great, too.

Thank you.

Same problem is with Pelles C since version 9, as it no longer have CV debug format.

Never seen before the GoBug debugger

it looks... like from the stone age but still fully functional!
