Viewing Globals Out of Context in WinDbg |
Q105583
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), versions 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
SUMMARY
When viewing global variables (either with the ? command or via the Watch window) and the variables go out of context, their values become:
CXX0017 Error: symbol not found
An example of this is when a common dialog box is open in the application. If you break into an application that is inside COMDLG32.DLL and try to do a ?gVar, where gVar is a global variable in the application, WinDbg will not find the symbol because the context is wrong. To view the value of gVar in MYAPP, use the following:
?{,,myapp}gVar
WinDbg will then have no trouble locating the symbolic information.
