Q117683

1.50 WINDOWS kbtool kbprb -- The information in this article applies to: - The Visual Workbench Integrated Debugger included with: Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.5 -- SYMPTOMS ======== With Visual C++ 1.0, when you run N2D.BAT to use the debug version of Windows, you are able to see the Windows API names in the debugger window while stepping through your code in Mixed Source/Assembly mode. For example, if you have a call to DrawText in your code, in either CodeView or the Workbench debugger, you will see the line: CALL DRAWTEXT (0767:1ECF) However, when using the debug kernel that comes with Visual C++ 1.5, you will not see the API name; you will see: CALL 0767:1ECF CAUSE ===== The difference is that Visual C++ version 1.0 debug kernel modules contain CodeView debugging information, while the Visual C++ 1.5 debug kernel modules do not contain CodeView information. RESOLUTION ========== If it is important for you to be able to see API names in the debugger, you may use the debug kernel, which is included with Visual C++, version 1.0, and Visual C++, version 1.5. MORE INFORMATION ================ Visual C++, version 1.0, contains the debug kernel for Windows version 3.1, while Visual C++ 1.5 contains the debug kernel for Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. You may use the Windows version 3.1 debug kernel with Windows for Workgroups without problems. Additional reference words: 1.50 KBCategory: kbtool kbprb KBSubcategory: WBDebug
