Finding symbols for C++ source file

[Bin Chen]

Hi,

I have a project that is C++ WIN32 project. I found a problem that
some symbol can be recognized by the windbg but some don't. I don't
know why.
The characteristics are:

1) both are C++ method
2) both function are in one .cpp file
3) the two functions are very close in the source file and neither of
them are enclosed by a #ifdef
4) I have used dbh.exe to check the symbol, the symbol missing in the
windbg is also not in the pdb file.

I am guessing if the symbol missing may due to the inheritance of the
class?

Please suggest, thanks!

Hello Bin.

Have you tried renaming the symbol you can't see to something obvious
like LOOKATME and then using dbh with this command?

x *LOOKATME*

If that doesn't work, email me the pdb and tell me the symbol names.

After some followup, we discovered that the item in question was
optimized out of the compiled code because it was never called.
