I'm an escalation engineer on a product which use both C# and Delphi 2006 code.
In most cases C# issues are debugged with WinDbg and Delphi 2006 issues with EurekaLog.
But when the issue is a Delphi memory usage, EurekaLog doesn't give enough information to fix the issue, and the only thing I have for debug it is a full memory dump file.
I cannot (or I don't know how to) load the symbol file in WinDbg, because it is a .map file and not a .pdb file.
So my questions are:
How do I load the symbols from a .map file in WinDbg? (Converting .map to .pdb or other.)
Is there a tool to analyze the dump file for a Delphi application?
To convert from Map to Dbg symbols:
- Get Map2Dbg.exe from http://code.google.com/p/map2dbg/
- Put Map2dbg in the same folder as YourApp.exe and its map file
- Execute: map2dbg.exe YourApp.exe
You should get a YourApp.dbg file to use with Microsoft tools….
