What are PDBs? Where must they be located for debugging to work?
Answer Posted / nitesh dwivedi
A Program DataBase file (extension .pdb) is a binary file
that contains type and symbolic debugging information
gathered over the course of compiling and linking the
project. A PDB file is created when you compile a C/C++
program with /ZI or /Zi or a Visual Basic, Visual C#, or
JScript program with the /debug option. The Visual Studio
debugger uses the path to the PDB in the EXE or DLL file to
find the project.pdb file. If the debugger cannot find the
PDB file at that location, or if the path is invalid, for
example, if the project was moved to another computer, the
debugger searches the path containing the EXE followed by
the symbol paths specified in the Options dialog box
(Solution Properties-->Debug Symbol Files node in VS.NET
2003). The debugger will not load a PDB that does not match
the binary being debugged.
