does not contain debug information. Press OK to Continue

[Karthik]

Hi,

I am trying to port one of my VC++ 6.0 32 bit windows application to
Windows XP 64 bit os.

This application runs perfectly on windows xp 32bit os without any
problem.

I used Windows XP 64 bit build environment (Debug) from PSDK for
windows 2003 R2 to port my application, and created the suitable
configuration and made all the necessary settings to the
configuration.

In fact I was able to compile and link the application without any
errors.

My problem is I am getting a message "does not contain debug
information. Press OK to Continue" when I try to debug the application
with or without breakpoints.

Why I want to debug is, The application is not working fine and
popping up some error messages, I want to catch them at runtime and
fix them up.

Can anybody help me in this regard.

this news group deals with standard C and platform specific stuff.
You need to re-post on another (probably microsoft) relevant ng.

[OT] the debugger needs debug information. Try typeing "debug info"
into the Help

Good catch, but I assume that the word "not" being dropped was merely a typo.

Being a pedantic arsehole does not come easy to me, so to suck up to the
regular c.l.c clique I jump at every opportunity. Think along the lines
of "Chuck" soiling his pants trying to be first to tell someone that
main() must return something or the like.

Indeed.

But point taken - being a pedantic arsehole is hard work - for those of
us for whom it doesn't come naturally.

Isn't the C standard something one *should* be pedantic about - at least
in a C newsgroup? At least that's what standards were made for. Sure, a
5/16 inch bolt might fit a 1/4 inch nut - but shouldn't be there people
telling you "well, what you're doing *might* work, but it might as well
just screw up whatever you're doing as soon as you change the screw vendor"?

Then again, thinking about it - looking like you and your sock puppet
are trollfeeding each other. Yeah well.

Regards,
Johannes

You don't seem to get it. Personally I have taught a lot of young
programmers to program C and other languages. There is a fine line
between putting them on the right track and being a pedantic prick. And
there are simply too many pedantic idiots in this NG. They seem to think
they can break their own topicality rules with abandon but others may
not. That preening arse Heathfield is one of the worst - his agenda for
Jacob is anyones guess but it's rare you see someone got to such levels
of petty spitefulness to settle a score in a technical programming
group. people need to remember that more than the OP read answers. And
cocky posturing with such garbage as "One does not need a debugger if
one does the job properly" days a lot more about the self opinion of
certain people than of their ability to guide and improve a young,
developing systems analyst / programmer.

Right. Nothing like "rational discourse" along the lines of

[...] troll [...]

Of course snipping all context is totally rational. I'm assuming you are
a grown man and words like "arse" don't offend you too much. If they do
then I apologise...

Preening is just perfectly apt and I do not apologise for using
it. Heathfield is a nasty piece of work who cries "troll" at the first
sign of someone not kowtowing to him as he feels is his right. I've
worked with people like him before and they break up teams quicker than
Bill Cunningham can forget while "while(1);" means in C.

As C programmers I feel you, and I, owe more to new C programmers than
ramming the standard up their backside. Common sense and "best practise"
are also good things to sprinkle on the replies. This isn't a
competition to see how many times people can point out Chuck's mistakes
or to waffle on about the bleeding obvious.

You have detected one of the reasons he is largely plonked.

Look at the man page, or better the info data, for gcc. Examine
the -g options, and modify your compilation accordingly.

Won't buy him a lot, as he uses VC++ 6.0 and not gcc.
