Missing Symbols in VS2010 Build

Using VS2010 with an older Win32 C/C++ Project, I'm trying to track down missing symbols in a project recently built. In the past I've used lib.exe to examine contents of libraries, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. For example

lib /List:libname.lib

returns only: Microsoft (R) Library Manager Version 10.00.30319.01 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved..

So what are the best practices for tracking down missing symbols in VS2010?

Thanks.

  • I repro, the command line syntax you use is wrong. Omit the colon:

    C:\projects\cpptemp3\Debug>lib /list cpptemp3.lib
Microsoft (R) Library Manager Version 10.00.40219.01

Debug\stdafx.obj
Debug\test.obj
