Summary:

To set breakpoints in SYMDEB, you must specify the full name of the

function. The compiler changes the function name depending upon the

calling convention that the function uses. A function that uses the C

calling convention (cdecl) is changed by the compiler to include an

underscore (_) at the beginning of the function name. The names of

functions that use the Pascal calling convention are converted to all

uppercase letters. The linker places the modified function names into

the symbol (SYM) file that SYMDEB uses.

The best way to determine which symbolic names to use with SYMDEB is

to view the MAP file produced by the linker. This file lists all of

the symbols defined in all of the object modules of an application.
